What should I check when my dashboard brake light is on in my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant when I'm driving and not pressing the brake or handbrake?

You might want to ensure that the handbrake is completely released; you might also check the brake fluid level.

Mitsubishi colt czt adjust the handbrake?
Handbrake adjustment instruction for Mitsubishi Colt CZ2 2006 There is a rear cup holder behind the handbrake. get a hoover with just the hose attachment.. suck up the cover plate on the inside of the cup holder. this will reveal two star type screws.. (not phillips) simply unscrew these and the whole cup holder comes of if you gently pull towards the rear of the vehicle. you will see two cables linked by a floating balance plate. This in turn is directly linked to the handbrake mechanism. make sure the car is on a flat surface and in gear to prevent it rolling you can also put something to stop the wheels rolling if you want to be uber safety conscious next release the handbrake to the floor. finally, using a 10 mm ring spanner tighten the nut on the balance plate clockwise. !!!! Warning!!!! stop occasionally to check the handbrake is not too tight. four or five inches of travel on the handbrake when applied is ample. Also, when you think the adjustment is complete and where you want it, release the handbrake again and make sure there is a little bit of play in both cables otherwise you will be driving with the handbrake slightly on all the time...NOT GOOD!!! then do a little test drive... and hey ho! bobs your sisters brother. Hope this helped.

Why does handbrake light on rover 214si keep flashing when driving in second gear Never in any other gear just second?
I have the same thing with my 220Gsi.. It seems it has nothing to do with the handbrake though. I suspect it has to do with the level of your steering fluid. I will check it out and let you know later this week

There is an electircal switch that 'senses' when the emergency brake lever is applied and lights a warning light on the dashboard to keep you from driving in this condition. This switch may be faulty or out of adjustment, causing the warning light on the dashboard to turn on.
