You need to replace the switch on the brake pedal.

Hello,

 

Thanks for the quick reponse.

I'll look for the switch on the brake pedal. But what about the TCS light?

 

Thanks in advance,

André

Probably a consequence of the switch failure. Fix the obvious fault, see if any problems remain.  I don't know the procedure for a Mk2 Fabia, maybe try asking in that section. There's a guide for Mk1 Fabia in the Skoda Fabia Technical Guides area, I should think it is very similar, just maybe a different way of removing trim panels to get to it.

Seconded - change the brake light switch. 

 

You are getting warnings as traction control is confused

Sounds like it to me, too. Had similar and blown bulb. Throws up fault lights till its replaced. Not expensive but in all, cost about £120 for diagnostics, new switch and bulbs plus fitting. Switch is around £20.

brake switch is a common problem,

 

its a pain to get to (unless car is on a lift) right up top of pedal,

 

twists out from memory then undo wire , reverse process to replace

 

the switch has two sets of contacts, one is the brake light the other goes into ECU I think, so if you brake it reduces engine power and a few other things like disengaging cruise control ( if you have it )

Thanks a looooooot :)

 

Cheers :)

Thats great... We'll all "SEE" you  in the pub later! :cocktail:
