Not trying to be a dick but a simple google search pulled up a thread in a US forum with this exact code being caused by a bad MAF. Don’t ask me why but for some reason the ABS system ties into the MAF.

The switches behind the clutch and brake pedals don’t throw codes, typically, which is why they can be a ball ache to trouble shoot.
