Mini Cabrio brake light error

I have a similar Mini Cabrio, and I experienced a comparable situation. If the error is intermittent, check the physical brake light switch first. I found mine was slightly misaligned. Also, ensure that the brake pedal returns fully; any slight pressure can trigger the sensor. Has the car had any recent work done on the brake system?

The error appears consistently. I checked the brake pedal, and it seems to return fully. The Mini Cabrio has not had any recent work done on the brake system. Could you give more detail about how you checked the brake light switch for misalignment?

The switch is near the top of the brake pedal. Because mine was intermittent, it was difficult to discern the exact issue. My suggestion would be a visit to a workshop so they can check the switch and the wiring.

I appreciate the insight. It turned out to be a simple case of operator error. I inadvertently had my foot resting slightly on the brake pedal. This activated the brake light and triggered the error. I have since adjusted my driving position, and the issue is resolved. Repair cost: 0€
