Corolla Brake Light Error

The error is pretty consistent. Comes on almost immediately after starting the car. I did try wiggling the brake pedal, but no luck. Where is the brake light switch located?

Okay, consistent error sounds more like a faulty switch than just a loose connection. It's usually located near the top of the brake pedal arm, under the dash. Honestly, even if you find it, messing with the brake system can be tricky. Since it’s consistent, I would get it checked at a workshop.

Thanks! I took your advice and went to a workshop. Turns out, a piece of trim had come loose and was ever-so-slightly pressing the brake pedal. The sensor recognised this as a false positive and threw an error. They just repositioned the piece of trim. Total cost: 0€ Thanks for your help!

I had something similar happen with my Corolla a while back. Not a hybrid, but still... Is the error message constant, or does it come and go? Also, did you try wiggling the brake pedal when the car is on? Maybe the switch is just a bit stuck.
