Thanks for the quick reply! Bulbs are fine, checked them first thing. I even swapped them out just to be absolutely sure. Still nothing. So, you're saying it's likely the brake light switch too? Any idea how much of a pain it is to replace?

Given that you have eliminated the bulbs as a potential cause, and considering the error code present, the brake light switch remains the most probable source of the malfunction. While a replacement appears straightforward in theory, I must advise proceeding with caution if you lack experience with automotive electrical systems. Incorrect handling could lead to further complications. A qualified workshop should be able to resolve the problem swiftly and efficiently.

You were spot on. Turns out, I managed to accidentally kick the connector loose while rummaging under the dash (don't ask!). Clicked it back in, and everything's perfect. So, zero cost! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Sometimes it's the simplest things!

Greetings. I have experienced a similar issue with my Stepwgn. The symptoms you describe align with a malfunctioning brake light switch. It is plausible that the switch is the root cause, particularly given the error memory indication. Have you verified the functionality of the bulbs themselves, ensuring they have not simply failed?
