Today the "brake light error" warning returned. Here's a pic:

The error message seems misleading. The brake light works just fine. I think what this message means is, there's a problem with the "outer brake light" circuit, and that is what is preventing the LED from working.
Before I order the replacement light, I will apply 12V to the leads and see if the LED still works.
