The error message came up just after I mistakenly hit 'color' and 'black' at very nearly the same time. Neither 'stop/exit' nor 'on/off' button have any effect. [resetting purge to 0000 did not work; pulling the power cord, waiting, and re-plugging the cord did not work]
The purge cam switch does not come ON or OFF even after the purge cam has been driven by the specified number of pulses.
Switching arm assembly not engaged correctly Ink cartridge/purge switch harness not connected correctly Purge cam switch broken Gear(s) on the maintenance unit broken Paper feed motor broken Main PCB defective.
best of luck

I can send you the service manual that describes everything you need to know. What is your email address?
SOURCE: unable to clean error message
This is very common on Brother MFCs - they self clean excessively and when they've done a set number of self-cleans, they refuse to print and give the error message you quote.
There is a work around - you can reset the self-clean counter - but this carries a small risk the waste ink from cleaning that is normally stored insde the machine in a tank/sponge MAY leak out. I've done the work around on my Brother MFC and, so far, no leakage so if I were you I'd take a punt.
Just Google "brother mfc unable to clean" and somewhere in the results will be how to reset the counter - it's all done from the keyboard so no tools required.
SOURCE: Unable to Clean 5A
The machine does not work due to a paper jam or some sensor problem.
Clear the paper jam, try to clean the sensor on the top of the printhead.
