Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need help with regards to a fault code that keeps coming up on my car. When I plug in the PST2 tester it reads brake switch fault ?? I press the brake light switch and all rear brake lights work fine including the two high level lights one in the spoiler and the the other one in below the horse shoe thingy my car is a cab C4 TIP. When I go into test mode in the tester program I see a function that allows me to test the brake switch in real time while I have the tester connected. My question is when powering up the PST2 tester in the menu I see two options for brake light switch ??? when I click to view these in real time one shows the switch working while the other does not ? my Tip selector lever works fine and my rear brake lights all work but I get PSM and ABS light come on after 15 mins of driving ?

POST 2Original post

These switches fail intermittently. When I had the same problem it took ten attempts to replicate the fault just stepping on the brake peddle and then the Brake lamps flickered once. It is a cheep part - replace it and be done with your problems.

POST 3Original post

I have a related issue on my 996: the brake wear light comes on after I wash the car or when it rains even the pads are in fine condition. (This started to occur shortly after I replaced the rear pads.) When this happens, the stop lights either don't work at all or they flash and go off when I press the brake pedal. After a while, the light goes off and the stop lights work fine. Any ideas? Thank you!!
