It means there is a fault with your engine management.

You need to get the codes read off, id suspect its either a blown brake light bulb or faulty brake light switch.

thanks lummox, just checked and all the brake lights are not working, so its possibly the brake light switch, do you know if they are easy to change?

Briskoda to the rescue again. I was going to say the same thing, but the resident tech got in their first.

Hi all, i have the same problem on my 55reg fabia VRS, although all the brake lights are working, and they go on and off when pressing the pedal, any other ideas before i get it on a diagnositc?

Cheers in advance.
