You have a starter motor relay that sends power to the starter motor if no brake signal you could also have a issue with the BCM controller .
That should be monitored with a scan tool
If the brake lights are working then the switch is good , it sends a signal from the BCM controller to the IPDM-ER controller with the starter relay to start your car .
let me know if you have any questions, Thank you Roy!
