Default trouble code , front brake light

Front bike light is stuck , is what the V and H fuelpack is telling me ..
Where is it ?
By the way , i had a mechanic go and clean as many connections as we could find , electronic cleaning fluid etc , cleared up a host of problems ,
this one remains ...
or could it be something else in the brake system .

Is your brake light on all the time?
If you have changed the grips lately you may have damaged the brake light switch, it's a little black tit that sticks out of the master cylinder and gets pressed with the front brake lever.
