First are you sure there is enough brake fluid in the master cylinder's resevoir? There's a sensor in there to make sure your brakes have enough fluid. It's possible that it's running low and may be using the same dash board light to let you know there is something wrong with your brake system.
If it truly is the emergency brake only, then it's most likely a loose electrical sensor that usually around where your emergency brake is located.

Are you sure its the Emergency Light and not the Brake Light ?? two different lights .
The EML (emergencey brake light is the foot brake you apply - there is a contact that when you apply the brake it makes contact, sometimes as you pull the lever to release it , it snaps back hard ehough to make it go out of position and cause that flikering to come about.) Check that see if that helps.
The Brake light in it self tells you that the fluid level in the Master Cylinder is getting to a low level point - which in turn tells the driver that it might be time for a brake service. Id check the fluid level , if it needs some to be added - DONT add any till you check out the brake material and see how much you have left. If the lining is low then service your brakes 1st - with that they will service the fuild.
Good Lcuk

Defective sensor on the emergency brake mechanism.It can be disconnected. Have it checked and adjusted by a qualified mechanic. If the brake is actually dragging, it'll cost a bundle eventually.

maximum brake lighting fixtures are activated by ability of a swap which sits impressive on impressive of the brake pedal under the sprint. It generally works as an open circuit (meaning off), until you depress the brake pedal forcing the swap to open/develop growing to be to be a closed loop circuit (meaning on). it extremely is comparable to a wall swap turning a easy on and stale. This one although works by ability of an inner spring which reasons it to develop once you press the brake pedal. the indoors spring is in all probability susceptible or broken, inflicting the swap to stay interior the on place. additionally, look under the sprint/impressive of the destroy pedal. The swap sits on a base tightened by screws, which may be loosened to alter/align the swap place. examine to confirm they do no longer look to be loose, inflicting the swap to be out of place. if so, set the swap in place on impressive of the brake pedal, with the tip which contacts the pedal "interior/retracted" subsequently off, then tighten the screws. attempt it by depressing the brake pedal: simply by fact the pedal is going down, the swap tip could want back out, subsequently turning the brake lighting fixtures on. launch the brake pedal, the swap could desire to reason the brake lighting fixtures to bypass off. Have somebody watch the brake lighting fixtures as you do this. in case you do not have all people, set a mirror on the rear of the vehicle so which you're able to do the finding out mutually as watching the lighting fixtures contemplated on the mirror.
