Diagnostic Test

  1. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH SIGNAL VOLTAGE ABOVE 4.9 VOLTS 
    NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. Using the scan tool, read Brake Fluid Level Switch Signal voltage.

      Is the voltage above 4.9 Volts?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. (B20) BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage of the (B20) Brake Fluid Level signal circuit in the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector to ground.

      Is the voltage above 5.2 Volts?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH INTERNAL FAILURE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Connect a jumper wire between the (B20) Brake Fluid Level signal circuit and the (Z387) Brake Fluid Level ground circuit in the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Using the scan tool, read the Brake Fluid Level Switch voltage

      Is the voltage below 1.0 Volt?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (B20) BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Brake Fluid Level Switch.
    3. Disconnect the FCM harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (B20) Brake Fluid Level signal circuit between the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector and the FCM harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  5

      No 

  5. (Z387) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector.
    3. Reconnect the FCM harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance of the (Z387) Brake Fluid Level Switch ground circuit between the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector and ground.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      No
