Vauxhall Meriva error code 15

Car: Vauxhall Meriva
Variant: 1.4 mpv manual
Model Year: 2013
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
I have no rear high brake light.
I keep reading it’s possibly a faulty wire into the coolant area of the vehicle though that doesn’t marry up with the owner manual. Any ideas please and is it safe to drive prior to taking to garage

Assume you do have a centre brake light like they all have and your other side brake lights are operating . If so it may be a faulty lamp or damaged wiring where it enters at top of tailgate ( usually in a rubber sheath )

Thank you I’ll check brake lights. Sorry about the confusion but when I check multiple forums online they mention code 15 as a wiring fault something to do with the coolant/anti freeze area

Vauxhall Meriva error code 15 is for coolant temp sensor and not related to high centre brake light . Different fault all together , may be faulty sensor or wiring fault .

If your coolant / antifreeze level in reservoir is o.k and no overheating , it will probably just be a coolant temp sensor fault and safe to drive to mechanic to get it checked .
