It's not the e-brake switch, or the e-brake cable adjustment. It's the brake fluid level switch inside the master cylinder reservoir. This has happened on several S2k's. The only way the switch is sold is with a new brake master cylinder.
Agreed. I just had this done about 2 months ago.

sounds like everything else with honda. I had a blown TPS.

me: "I need a TPS sensor"
counter person: "Well in order to get that 5 dollar sensor, you need to purchase this 700 dollar throttle body"
me: "Spoon? yes ohh 500 dollars? Ship one immediately"

when it gets cold, the floater on the master cyl cap gets stuck on the bottom, and it sets the light off.

This may sound crazy but some or all GM cars self-adjust the brakes when the car is operated in reverse. Weather this would affect the E-brake ,I don't know. Also don't know if this is the way a Honda would work. If the calipers haven't completely self-adjusted ,I suppose it's possible that this could also effect the E-brake .
Longshot--- Operate your car in reverse several times and hope for the best.
Note- Lol's accepted, flames aren't.

Cars with drum brakes self adjust in reverse. Not so with a S2k.
