Why would the brake light be on a 2002 Hyundai avante (the letter P and an exclamation point)?

SOURCE: Hyundai Avante (Elantra) green

a small rubber vacuum pipe connecting to the injector system / inlet manifold. Sometimes this pipe perishes and allows air to enter thus decreasing the vacuum. The engine then cuts out. It's simple to check and replace the tubing where necessary. You may also notice the engine cutting out when traveling at speed and one suddenly slows down.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. YOUR TIRES LOOSE AIR PRESSURE WHEN THE WEATHER GOES FROM HOT TO COLD. TRY ADDING SOME AIR TO THE TIRES. THE LIGHT SHOULD GO OUT. ALSO, LOOK IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, IT SHOULD GIVE AN EXPLANATION OF WARNING LIGHTS.

brake lights not operating may be the brake light switch located screwed into the pedals box just below where pedals pivot it has 2 wire plug attached unplug this plug then using either a short wire or a matal paper clip opened to form U shape connect the 2 wiresin plug this should put b/lights on with ignition on ?provided all bulbs are ok ?? if it works then ? check the switch it has a plunger on it and when pedal pressed it moves out to put lights on however being plastic ? the plunger may be stuck use wd40 or similar and lubericate and work piston so it pushes in and springs out freely ? then refit wiresplug and recheck lights work ok ? also check on brake fluid level in reservoir top up and ensure no leaks when brakes applied ?
