Brake light circuit fault on the display is for the circuit in the 4 pin brake light switch that goes to the ABS control unit. The other circuit in the brake light switch is for the brake lights. I would recheck the switch

Wierd I had put new brake pads in & pedal only went down little way & it wouldnt actuate the switch & the germans in their ways dont have an adjustable brake actuaor rod . Brake lights will now only work when engine is running ( vacumm on nthe booster ) & pedal goes down far enough . Got new WOF today & just as well he left the engine running when he checked the lights .

The brake switch itself is adjustable. Pull the pedal back as far as it will go and try again. Otherwise replace the switch. Also check the switch mount isn't bent
