Renault Scenic 2007. Error code DF188 - Bourbon

I have a 2007 Scenic Hatchback. I have just had a new Electronic Park brake module installed now I am getting the errors "Check ABS" "Check ESP" The errors happen randomly. When I turn off the engine the Errors go away.
I had the car Diagnosed by Renault here in Perth, Western Australia and no errors come up.
I purchased the Renault iCarsoft i907 and I am getting the error: DF188 ABS - brake switch circuit incoherent. Can anybody suggest where I should start to solve this proplem? Many thanks in advance.

Brake switch signal incoherent means its not understanding a feed back signal.

Sometimes the brake light switch need resetting. I normally remove the switch and pull the ratchet out and re-insert the switch and allow it to reset. can be usefull to use a feeler gauge and allow about a 1mm gap between pedal and switch.

Also check the raer light clusters as Renaults are notorius for bad earths on the light clusters and these can cause havoc with ABS and engine. make sure the bulb conacts are clean and bulbs functioning correctly
