Aparent light failure

Team Green2 · 09-02-2011, 04:51 PM

Hi guys just driving home earlier this evening and a error message came up on the dash and sat nav screen saying that my rear right breaklight has failed. On seeing the message I thought wow that\'s neat it tells you when a bulbs blown, so I pulled ofer and got the misses to press the break pedal so I could check the light once she pressed the peddle all lights are working fine???? Strange got back in the car and the error message is still there. Is there a way of resetting it or has anyone experienced this before ?

Replace the BRAKE

lamp bulb, failing that you probably have bulbholder problems.

i had the same problem,
ignored it for a few weeks and eventually my brake light bulb did go.
i then had the same message for rear left so i replaced within a few days and the fault dissapeared
