Could be afew things. Check your brake fluid level thats first thing. Could have a leak somwere. Could be handbrake switch could even be wiring for brake fluid sensor.

Most likely fluid related, dont think theres diagnostic codes for that thou

The only thing out of that which i hav not done is check the wiring. Break fluid and switch are fine. Is it not a common fault for the mk3?
