Don't know about the '98 Prelude specifically, but on most cars the
parking brake indicator doubles as a brake fluid warning light. Check to
see if you are low on brake fluid or if the brake fluid level sensor is
misbehaving. Needless to say, if you are low on brake fluid you need to
find the cause and not simply top it off.
