Yes it can - and has done to my D3 - or at least the ABS and ESP lights part can be (I think that the Headlight range and Parking brake may well be seperate faults)
and the brake switch isn't too expensive or difficult to change so I'd definitely start with that first ![]() Your adaptive cruise won't work of there is known issues with the ABS and ESP for safety reasons I would have thought

I agree with Neil, first stop would be VCDS scan to see what errors are logged as brake switch defects will be logged in that

I've got an old dodgy copy of vcds, I'll try and scan the car later and post the results.

I wouldn't be certain about the brake switch, when mine went the gearbox went into limp mode. I drove it to the garage thinking the gearbox was toast. I was thrilled to be told it just needed a brake switch.

Today I finally got around to scanning the car. Sorry i am not Beulieu, I've got a job application to finish off and my CV as unemployment looms.
I have attached the log, but aside from the usual issues my D3 has and those relating to low battery as the car is hardly used one stands out like a sore thumb. Address 03: ABS Brakes Labels: 4E0-910-517.lbl Part No SW: 4E0 910 517 A HW: 4E0 614 517 A Component: ESP 5.7 allrad H29 0420 Coding: 0008597 Shop #: WSC 02313 000 00000 VCID: 214DE1B78159 1 Fault Found: 00290 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor; Rear Left (G46) 012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit - Intermittent That is the obvious stand out, how easy is that sensor to sort or check the wiring connections? Perhaps if someone else could review the whole log I would feel happier. With the fault present I can clear the ABS sensor fault but as soon as you close the controller it returns. However after the car has gone fully to sleep the fault is no longer current and will drive fine again until it recurs.

Well as you suspect I'd say most of that will clear ok other than the abs sensor and level control pressure and temp warning I would be too concerned.
the abs sensor may be faulty but worth checking the contacts for grime or corrosion. The door handles quite possibly are dragging down the battery. The rear parking sensor can be changed assuming its it at fault without removing the bumper, well it can be on the S8 bumper. Once you sort the the abs out the headlight and acc should start behaving too.
