DTC C0040-62: Brake Lamp Switch Failure (Stuck)

NOTE:

Initial Diagnosis:
The initial on-board diagnosis occurs right after the vehicle condition is turned to the ON mode, and the ABS/VSA indicator comes on, and continues until the indicator goes off.
Regular Diagnosis:
The regular on-board diagnosis begins right after the ABS/VSA indicator goes off, and it continues until the vehicle condition is turned to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
Review "How to troubleshoot the VSA system" before doing the DTC troubleshooting procedure.
Test-drive the vehicle according to local traffic conditions and regulations. Do not test-drive on a lift unless specified.
