Parking brake light comes on under braking

Sometimes under heavy braking , or braking downhill my parking brake light comes on. Is this just a loose cable?

95 LS here with the exact same issue. What happens if your fluid is not low and the light comes on under hard braking? Fluid looks a bit dark and may be dirty.

flush the fluid and in the process check the sensor, might be jammed/stuck/dead.
