Diagnostic Test
- 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.
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the scan tool, read Brake Fluid Level Switch Signal voltage.
Is the voltage above 4.9 Volts?
Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- Perform the ABS-INTERMITTENT CONDITION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Antilock Brake (ABS) - Standard Procedure .

- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- 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
- Repair the (B20) Brake Fluid Level signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 3
- BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH INTERNAL FAILURE
- Turn the ignition off.
- 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
- Turn the ignition on.
- Using the scan tool, read the Brake Fluid Level Switch voltage
Is the voltage below 1.0 Volt?
Yes
- Replace the Brake Fluid Level Switch in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Go to step 4
- (B20) BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SWITCH CIRCUIT OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Brake Fluid Level Switch.
- Disconnect the FCM harness connector.
- 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
- Repair the open in the (B20) Brake Fluid Level Switch signal circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
- (Z387) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the Brake Fluid Level Switch harness connector.
- Reconnect the FCM harness connector.
- 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
- Replace and program the Front Control Module in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
No
- Repair the open in the (Z387) Sensor ground circuit.
- Perform the BODY VERIFICATION TEST. See DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Front Control (FCM) - Standard Procedure .
