Default 98 Audi A8 Transmission Code

Just tested my A8 with vag.com system.

Under Tranny fault codes I received the following..

17087 - Brake Switch B Circuit Malfunction
P0703 - 35 - -

Can someone tell me what this means, what might be wrong?

I am also looking for the "Complete" shop manual for this car including transmission if possible.

Thanks

You need to step on the brake peddle. Not a problem.

When? I do this while driving. I did clear the code and it came back. Do I need to step on the brake pedal while pulling the codes?

Thanks

After you turn on the ignition, before you attach and activate VAG-COM.
