Was it definitely the brake switch? Where is it located exactly? Is it easy to replace? I'm no expert when it comes to cars, but I'm willing to give it a try if it's not too complicated.

Pretty sure it was the brake switch. The garage confirmed it. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself if you're not confident. Messing with the brake pedal and automotive switch can be risky, vehicle safety first. Take it to a workshop; it's a quick and cheap fix.

The brake switch was the culprit. I replaced it, and the error is gone. No more annoying light, and all brake lights are working again. It cost me nothing as I had a spare one lying around. Thanks for the tip.

Sounds like a dodgy brake switch to me. I had a similar issue with my Fabia a while back. The brake lights would sometimes work, sometimes not, and the error message was driving me nuts.
