If you look at under the dash on drivers side, you will see 2 switches operated by brake pedal. One is for cruise control and the other one is brake light. IIRC, right one is brake and left is cruise. I'd check that switch first. Next thing would be... remove plastic trims inside of trunk and see if all the wires look okay. Also you should go through all those standard procedures like checking bulbs, fuses and stuff.

Cool, man. What emission? Too much Nox? I had that problem last year and fixed it. I sprayed carbon cleaner(Deep Creep) to EGR valve and drove around. I also put some octane booster(tiny orange bottle) from Autozone too. My Nox dropped to 20% or something and passed.

I don't know any people, so I had hard time figuring out the problem and taking care of it.

RXP!!!!!Yes, that thing works. Nox came out crazy LOW after I clean EGR valve and put RXP.
