Brake Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Testing and Inspection
Brake Fluid Level Switch Test
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 both the ABS/VSA indicator and the brake system indicator come on at the same time, check the VSA system DTC's first. See: Antilock
Brakes / Traction Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
-
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/Testing and Inspection/Reading and Clearing Diagnostic
Trouble Codes
3. Reconnect the brake fluid level switch connector.
