I'm the original owner on a '97 Tacoma 4x4 6 cyl...lately the light has been coming on, staying on for less than a minute, than going off (of course the parking brake is off) . It does it quite often...any ideas?

Make sure the parking brake is going in all the way. I recently bought a '99 Tacoma that had problems with the parking brake not fully disengaging far enough the make the light go out even though the brake was off. If I held the brake in the light would stay off. Turns out the cable was out of adjustment (loose). There is an adjuster nut under the drivers side of the truck.

Hope that helps!!

It could also mean you're low on brake fluid. Make sure the fluid level in the reservoir is a little above the FULL line and it should turn off.
