Thanks! Can you explain how to check the brake switch? I'd like to try myself before taking it in.

Sure. Use a multimeter to check the brake switch's continuity and voltage. Also, check the wiring for corrosion or damage. But, safety first, so consider professional brake diagnostics. Ignoring this could be risky.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a shop. They said the electric motor in the brake calliper is bad, and it'll cost 505€ to fix. Thanks for confirming my suspicion and suggesting a safety check.

Could be. With the electronic handbrake failure, error codes, and warning light, the electric motor in the brake calliper is a likely cause. Have you done any brake diagnostics, especially on the brake switch? Intermittent switch issues can cause this.
