When a fluid level drop in the master cylinder reservoir is detected, the signal is input to the skid control ECU.
When the DTC for the fluid level drop is memorized, the warning is canceled if the fluid level returns to normal and the other DTCs are not input.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE: When replacing the skid control ECU assembly, perform initialization of the linear solenoid valve and calibration Initialization.
HINT: Before releasing the parking brake, set the chocks to hold the vehicle for safety.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IN RESERVOIR
(a) Check that the brake fluid level is sufficient.
HINT:
- If the fluid level drops, check for a fluid leak, and repair if found.
- If no leaks exist, add and adjust fluid and then check that the trouble code is not output again.

OK:
Brake fluid level is proper.
NG -- ADD BRAKE FLUID
OK -- Continue to next step.
2. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH

(a) Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
(b) Disconnect the brake fluid level warning switch connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Resistance:

NG -- REPLACE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (BETWEEN SKID CONTROL ECU AND FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH)

(a) Disconnect the skid control ECU connector and the brake fluid level warning switch connector.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Resistance:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. RECONFIRM DTC
(a) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(b) Turn the ignition switch on.
(c) Check the same DTCs are recorded Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
Result:

HINT: This DTC may be memorized due to a malfunction in the connector terminal connection, etc.
