Circuit/System Verification

1. Inspect for proper brake fluid level. The fluid level should be above minimum level.

• If low, refer to Brake Fluid Loss 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 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.

• If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Brake Fluid Level Sensor parameter is OK.

• 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.

4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and ground.

5. Verify the scan tool Brake Fluid Level Sensor parameter is Low.

• 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.

6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B20 Brake Fluid Level Switch.

Component Testing

Static Test

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B20 Brake Fluid Level Switch.

2. Test for greater than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 2 and the signal circuit terminal 1.

• If less than the specified value, replace the B20 Brake Fluid Level Switch. Infinite resistance between signal terminal 1 and ground.
