That can be a couple of things - on mine it was the brake switch under the pedel, but I believe that a loose / broken connection to the switch can cause it too.

Does it go off when you brake, then come on again later? Are there any other lights lit at the same time?

Without wishing to say something "too" obvious im assuming you have switched HDC off?
