Default Ebrake problem

HI, I have a problem w/ my integra ebrake lite. When i start to run my car for the 1st and 2nd shift, the ebrake lite will turn on if i go over 2000rpm, on the 3rd shift, the lite will turn off by itself...i checked the master cylinder, brake fluide, brake pads and everything looks fine to me. Will that be just a problem of the O2 sensor??

I am not sure, because when I looked in other forums, they said that the O2 sensor goes bad and need to be replaced.

The only thing that turns your ebrake light on and off is a small push button switch. Take out the center console and pull up on the ebrake. See that white button switch? Thats the switch. Its deactivated when you lower the ebrake handle all the way down and activated when you pull up on it.
I don't know why it would be going on and off like that.

just try topping off the fluid. I know its probably above the min line, but mine did that for a while until I took it right up to the max. I think what happens is when you accelerate it sloshes back and the float drops down a little.

Is that the reason, because the brake fluid in my car just slightly above the min, and I think is still gonna be fine, so I didn't care about that. So do I just open the cap and pour the brake fluid in it?
