Do your brake lights work? That code indicates a short in the brake light switch (which is mounted to the brake pedal). The most likely problem is the switch itself.

The LED bulbs are almost definitely the cause. The US Yaris ECM does not monitor the brake light switch as aggressively as the European one does.

With the European ECM, the ECM is connected to the feed to the bulbs on the inside of the switch (so it always sees the presence of the bulb, even when the brake pedal is not depressed).

To use the LED brake bulbs you will probably need to use the load resistor, like what is required to use LED turn signal bulbs, with the OEM flasher relay.

It should not cause any problems other than making the check engine light come on.
