: Dash "Brake" Light Flickers

The dash "Brake" warning light on my '02 Odyssey started briefly flickering this past week. The light doesn't stay on steadily for even a second at a time and seems to flicker on and off quickly for a second or two and then stay completely off for hours or days at a time until the next flickering episode.

At first I thought that maybe the parking brake was slightly engaged, so I fully engaged it and then disengaged it, but with no effect on the flickering warning light problem. (The parking brake pedal does not seem to be loose or bouncing at all). Next I thought that perhaps the brake fluid in the reservoir might be at the lower limit and thus barely engaging the warning light. The brake fluid level is at the "Max" level line on the reservoir. I replaced the front and rear brake pads a little over a year ago, and the brakes seem to otherwise be working fine (brake pedal feels normal and the brakes are not making any unusual noises).

Any ideas of other things I can check?

Thanks.
