BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION

BUE041143400N02

• The brake fluid level sensor is integrated with the reservoir tank. It consists of a float containing a magnet and a reed switch mounted in the bottom of the brake master cylinder reservoir.

• When the brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir reaches a predetermined level, the float and magnet actuate the reed switch that causes the brake warning indicator to illuminate. Loss of brake fluid from either the primary (front) or secondary (rear) system causes this system to activate.

• If the brake fluid level sensor becomes inoperative, a new brake master cylinder reservoir must be installed.
