Default "Check Brake Lights"

I keep getting this coming up on the display yet all brake lights are fine. I took the bulbs out the back and cleaned up the contacts and they were clean as a whistle. Both sides are nice and bright. Third brake light bulbs are all operational too but I didnt take them out and check the contacts.
Any ideas?

Thaks!

I was reading in a parallel group, I saw it was very important to locate and check all grounds, make sure nothing is wet, and all has a good clean connection....

Did it just happen out of the blue or did you change bulbs?

I did. After checking everything and spending a fortune, I found that the best thing to do was sell the damn thing and never look back. I have no more cayenne and my life has been better in almost every respect. OK, Ill admit, there are days I miss it

I have the same problem, it is the LED third brake light below your spoiler. Sometimes it does not illuminate as bright as it should is sends the wrong signal to the sensors. I tap the brake light and it gets brighter. The warning light goes away.
