Fiat Petra Brake Light Failure

Hi, I've got a 2015 Fiat Petra diesel. At 71068 km, the brake lights aren't working and there's an error message. An error code is also being logged. Any ideas before I take it to a professional?

I had a similar problem on my Petra. Check the brake light switch; it's a common fault. Is the error intermittent or constant?

Thanks! The error is constant. Can you tell me how to check the brake light switch? Any tools or procedures I should know about?

Sounds like a faulty switch, then. No need to test, just go to the workshop and ask to replace it. Should solve the issue.

Thanks for the help! I checked the brake light switch and it was misaligned because I knocked it. I adjusted it, and the brake lights work now, and the error message is gone. No repair cost: 0€!
