Coil light flashing (brake light switch) problem

Post by CarLoss »

Howsit

Getting a strange code on my polo. Coil light is flashing had it scanned its code P0571 which is for the brake light switch. All my brake lights work fine. Swapped the switch out (the one behind the pedal) and it still remains. Checked all the fuses and it seems fine.

Not sure what’s going on would appreciate some assistance thanks

Check the brake light bulbs. I once had an issue were one of the bulb elements shorted causing the coil light to flash.
