high rpm = warning light

when i suddenly acclerate past like 3.5/4 k rpm, the red warning light comes on (The light that comes on when e.brake is engaged), when i stop accelarating it turns off. no, im not slipping, and i also dont hear unusual noise.

im leaving the country in a week, and wont probably get an appointment till i come back which is in 2 month! T.T

You are probably low on brake fluid. Add just a tiny bit, just enough to get rid of the problem.

The slip light can flash even if there isn't OBVIOUS slipping.
It's normal.
The brake fluid top-off only corrects the brake light coming on and staying on. It has nothing to do with the slip light flashing while under heavy acceleration. (if that is in fact what is happening)

^^its not the slip light that comes on, its the e.brake light.
^ yea 3.5k isnt high, but when i push more than 60-70% of the pedal, when its going past the 3.5k (its when the light comes on) heading towards 4-8rpm. the light stays on unless i let off the pedal.

if it stays constantly on until you let go of the pedal with no obvious slipping then that's not normal

might be the switch on the ebrake is out of adjustment and the G force from acceling causes it to trip.
