The Role Of Brake Fluid Level Sensor
Nov 28, 2022
Many master cylinder, especially systems that are a diagonal split, usually use a brake fluid level sensor or Switch in the master cylinder reservoir.
this sensor will light the red brake warning lamp on the dash if low brake fluid level is detected. A float-type sensor or a magnetic reed switch are commonly used and provide a complete electrical circuit when the brake fluid level is low
After refilling the master cylinder reservoir to the correct level, the red "brake" warning lamp should go out
