1. Brake warning indicator will not turn on when fluid is low.

2. Brake warning indicator will not turn on when Handbrake is applied.

3. Brake warning indicator will always be on.

Circuit/System Description

The brake fluid level switch monitors the level of brake fluid in the brake fluid reservoir. When the electronic brake control module (EBCM) sees the brake fluid level switch input closed, the DTC is set.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • An open is detected on the brake fluid level signal circuit for 20 s.
    • Low brake fluid level is detected for 20 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The EBCM disables the traction control and stability control for the duration of the ignition cycle.
    • The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.
    • The brake warning indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present.

Circuit/System Verification
  1. Inspect for proper brake fluid level. The fluid level should be above minimum level.
    2. ⇒If low, refer to Brake Fluid Loss .
  2. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Brake Fluid Level Sensor parameter. The reading should be OK.

Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B20 Brake Fluid Level Switch.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and ground.
    3. ⇒If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Brake Fluid Level Sensor parameter is Low.
    4. ⇒If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM).
  4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.
  5. Ignition OFF, ignition ON, verify the scan tool Brake Fluid Level Sensor parameter is OK.
    6. ⇒If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM).
  6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B20 Brake Fluid Level Switch.

Component Testing
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B20 Brake Fluid Level Switch.
  2. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal B and the signal circuit terminal A.
    3. ⇒If less than the specified value, replace the B20 Brake Fluid Level Switch.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
