Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Testing and Inspection
Brake Fluid Level Switch Test
NOTE: If both the ABS/VSA indicator and the brake system indicator come on at the same time, check the VSA system for DTC's first See: Antilock
Brakes / Traction Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
1. Disconnect the brake fluid level switch connector.
2. Check for continuity between the terminals (1) and (2) with the float in the down position and in the up position.
NOTE:
--
Remove the brake fluid completely from the reservoir. With the float down, there should be continuity.
-
Fill the reservoir with brake fluid to the MAX (upper) level (A). With the float up, there should be no continuity.
-
If the parking brake switch and brake fluid level switch are OK, but the brake system indicator does not function, do the gauge control module
self-diagnostic function See: Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators/Instrument Cluster / Carrier/Testing and Inspection/Initial
Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.
