Default something weird is going on with my 6th gen...can someone help?

for the last two mornings, yesterday and today, when i first start driving my car (6th gen, I-4 sedan) the e-brake light stays on! i noticed it never happened before, but the last nights were pretty cold here in jersey. maybe the cold has something to do with it? i tried raising and lowering the e-brake but the light still stayed on. funny thing is that after about 10-15 mins of driving on the highway, the light goes off on it's own i mean thats good it turns off but why the hell is it going on in the first place???? anyone else have this sort of a problem? and i haven't done any brake work or anything lately. i just had the car back at the dealer for the ignition recall and that's about it.

Default broken tail light

for older hondas, it ususally meant a blown bulb somewhere. have somone look at your lights, and do a test on all your taillights, blinkers, etc.

also,

my accord used to do that, on time when i got the car serviced at the dealer, i told them about the problem and one dealer said that i would have to leave it there over night so that they could diagnose the problem as soon as they turned the car on in the morning like i had been stating, i said bs. so i took it to another dealer and he touched around the master brake cylinder and it never came on again.
