First check the bulbs. The car is designed to let you know if a bulb is burned out. Make sure all bulbs are in working order and are the proper part number. If this doesn't solve the problem it could be the brake lamp failure sensor. There are sensors in both tail lamp housings. There's a 5 pin on the left and 6 pin on the right side. You can remove them by taking out two screws on each one with a Phillips bit and unplugging the harness. Flip each one over and gently pry the two tabs apart on each side and remove the circuit board. Inspect the circuit board for burned or broken connections and inspect the pins and harness for corrosion. The common trunk leaking problem in the Accords will allow water to run right down over the sensors often corroding them. It's possible to use a wire brush or sandpaper to shine up the pins on the disassembled sensor. You can you a pin or similar small object to Flute out the tiny connection on the wire harness if it is corroded. Also check for corroded bulb sockets. Poor conductivity can trigger the sensor also.
