    Yes, here's where the other brake pedal switch goes. But neither brake switch is required to close for ABS & TC lights to go out when moving off from standstill.

    For the TC & ABS lights you need to check the ABS system. That includes the booster pressure switch, wheel sensors, ECU diagnostics, etc. No you would not damage the ABS by stomping on the brake pedal. It generates 80bar, so a lot more than...

    Yes, you have two issues. Brake lights on rear will either be the switch, or a BECM issue. Most likely the switch. Before you replace the Accumulator, check pump is fully pressurising. With car stationary wait for the pump to stop...

    It does look like something has been getting between that cylinder & the coolant passage. When I did mine, I put a ring of sealant around the coolant passages just in case. The gaskets don't always have it.

    Technical name is "vent hose that always comes off". Mine are both the same !! Any spiral vent hose should do. Measure the size of the outlet on the lower panel to see what's needed, and then one slightly longer so it's easier to fit.

    Pull the pin fully out (but careful you dont over extend it) Hold the brake pedal down while fitting the switch. Then release the pedal, and it will self adjust the switch.

    Do you mean the brake lights at the back, or the brake warning light ? If it's the rear lights, then suspect the switch or a BECM issue. If it's just the warning lamp, then check handbrake handle switch or the ABS Pump.

    COM4 should be ok. Not tried a Chinesium USB Serial for many years, as I now use an FTDI adapter on both my Macbook & windows for various serial stuff. The error you got looks like a windows driver issue.

    It also depends on the wiring in the 9pin-D connector to OBD connector cable. If this is wrong then no USB serial will work. Where did you buy them ?
