Have you tried disconnecting the light, then reconnecting it?
Or disconnect the battery, then reconnecting it?

They're probably the two things I'd try out.

disconnect the battery and whilst its off hige the fuse box forward and feel for any dampness (it's worthwhile remving the plastic wiper arm cover thing and removing any leaves and crap that collects there and also give the drain channels a clean)... and when you reconnect the battery it should clear the codes

Changed right front, and right rear abs sensors today. Becoming a pro at it. Took about 30mins per sensor, inlcuding jacking.
