Clarity brake light failure

Hi, I've got a 2016 Honda Clarity hybrid with 195373 km on the clock. I'm getting a brake light failure and an error message on the infotainment system. The error memory also stores a related fault. Any ideas? I suspect the brake light switch.

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Honda Clarity hybrid owner experienced a brake light failure and an error message on the infotainment system, suspecting the brake light switch as the cause. Another individual suggested checking the brake switch, as it is a known issue. The owner visited a workshop, where the problem was resolved by simply plugging the switch back in properly, confirming it was a user error.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar issue with my Clarity. It turned out to be a faulty automotive switch. I suggest you check the tail light and the brake light. Maybe the switch is broken. Have you recently done any work near the pedals?

Thanks for the quick reply. No, I haven't touched anything near the pedals recently. Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean by 'faulty automotive switch'? Which one exactly?

Yeah, it was definitely the brake switch itself. It's a known issue, apparently. If you are not that experienced, I recommend taking it to a workshop. They will fix that in a couple of minutes.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Turns out you were spot on! I went to a workshop, they took a look and just plugged the switch back in properly. It was user error after all, and cost me nothing!
