Inspection

Fluid level sensor

Fluid level sensor inspection

  1. 1
    Disconnect the sensor connector.
    Fluid level sensor inspection: an analog ohmmeter is connected via leads to the brake fluid reservoir sensor connector for a continuity check.
  2. 2
    Connect an ohmmeter to the connector.
  3. 3
    Starting with the fluid level above the MIN mark on the reservoir, verify that there is no continuity.
  4. 4
    Remove the brake fluid and verify continuity when the level is below the MIN mark.
  5. 5
    Replace the sensor if necessary.
