Are you sure that it is the BAS lamp, sorry to ask, your front tyres need to be roughly the same for wear. this normally happens after a battery change and cured by turning the wheels from lock to lock. there is a sensor on the front suspension, if you put up first 6 numbers of VIN I can check further.

You could try turning the wheel with the ignition off

OK should be just a stop lamp switch that needs to be replaced, it will have fault code C1025 stored the switch cost under £10 and very easy to fit.

the CAN bus is not communicating with spin wheel.
