4
|
INSPECT FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT
• Verify that the brake fluid level sensor and BCM connectors are disconnected.
• Inspect for continuity between brake fluid level sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
• Is there continuity?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground, then go to the next step.

• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Reconnect the negative battery cable.
• Clear the DTC for the BCM using the M-MDS.
(See CLEARING DTC [BCM].)
• Retrieve the BCM DTCs using the M-MDS with the brake fluid level on the upper side of the MIN.
(See DTC INSPECTION [BCM].)
• Is the same DTC displayed?
|
Yes
|
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
• If the malfunction recurs, replace the BCM.
Go to the next step.
