No, I haven't checked the brake switch. Where exactly is it located, and how would I test it?

Honestly, messing with brakes is risky. Given the error code and warning light, plus the electronic handbrake issue, I'd strongly suggest getting it to a workshop. Sounds like the motor, and that's not something you want to get wrong!

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right - the electric motor in the brake caliper was defective. The repair cost 505€ Appreciate the help!

Sounds like a pain! I've heard the electric motors in the brake calipers can be dodgy on those. Have you tried checking the brake switch?
