What is the antipullution fault on peugeot 406?

Where is the senser for the stop light on 406
the brake light switch is located at the top of the brake pedal but if it was just this i would'nt expect the other symptoms unless there has been work done on your vehicle in that area recently and may have dislodged a connector, if have had work done in that area take back to the repairer or retrace your steps if you have been working on it, if no work been done have the OBD codes read as this will pinpoint the faulty sensor/switch save you time and money searching blind
