Code C1226 brake lamp indicator short circuit to ground

Code indicates the low brake fluid warning light is indicating.

Let's start with checking the brake fluid and if that is ok then we could have a brake light switch or even a short in the wiring for the brakes lights.

Here are a couple guides that will help with this.

Please run through this info and let us know what you find with this. Thanks

This can be a shorted power wire to one of the lights or a light bulb has had a problem in the socket maybe. Please remove the brake light bulbs to inspect. Here is the brake light wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Yep you where right one of the light sockets melts and messed up the contacts so I replaced it and it works great!
