Sounds like yet another brake light switch issue.It's a very cheap part around $10 US and only takes a few minutes to change.This is the first time a code was given.I'm not sure just what it means though.Those lights are an indication of BLS failure and is a common issue.Even if it doesn't fix the issue you're only out a few bucks.

Do you know where the brake light switch located ?

Mine has just done this 3 times in last 2 weeks, haven't recorded yet as usually only happens as I've just started driving in traffic, pulled over turned key off then back on which clears the error lights.


Can't remember the Check engine light on though, do remember seeing " Hill start assist" , ABS and VDC. first 2 times was just after I'd washed the car so had thought that was related.
