Every time I braking fairly hard the emergency brake comes on.

Question 1: Is this normal?
Question 2: If it's not normal, then how do I fix it.

It happens to me when I'm accelerating hard. Never done it while braking. I've just learned to ignore it.

these guys are right...break fluid is the answer....i made the same post several months back when mine was doing it. e-break light coming on after a hard acceleration then breaking. someone told me to top off the break fluid.....i did....and it fixed it.

This may also be an indication that you need new brake pads. When your pads get low, more fluid is required to press them to the rotors, hence the reason the low fluid warning. With that being said, if thats the case and you need pads, dont top it off too much, 'cause when you put the new pads on there the fluid level will return and any extra you put in to compensate will flow out of the master cylinder when you pop the cap.
