check the connector at the base of the handbrake, as it may have come loose over time.
i have the exact same problem in my prelude. but as well as handbreak it has the light saying my reverse light isnt working as well. its been like this for years ive just gotten used to it
also check your BRAKE FLUID LEVEL.
Mine came on my old car, when the rear car bulb blew
