Default Parking Brake Light on

My parking brake light stays on while driving. It isn't engaged, I don't get the beeping and there is no evidence of it being on while driving so I think it is just the sensor for it. I searched the forum but no love. Anyone know if this is easy to get to and adjust or should I just suck it up and let Honda get it under warranty? Thanks for any help.

Do you have brake fluid at the proper level in the master cylinder? The low fluid switch turns on the same warning light.

I recall that the switch that turns this light on is located under the center console between the seats. If you remove the cover (just pry it off), you will be able to see the switch. I can't remember if it's adjustable, but you should be able to figure it out by looking at it. If you disconnect the wire to the switch and you still get the light, your problem is likely coming from your brake fluid reservoir.

K, so the dealer just reset the light somehow, next day, came back on. I checked the brake fluid, there was my problem. So, you guys are smarter than the dealer! Thanks again guys.
