The manual says:
When all is well, the dash light comes on whenever the front or back brake is used.
If the rear brake light fails (blown bulb), then the dash light will come on whenever the front or back brake is used, AND the dash light will flash when the brakes are not used.
I think btchalice hit the nail on the head.... check for a bad brake light bulb.
