First I just want to confirm that the connector that clips into the harness under the brake fluid resorvoir tank is indeed for the brake fluid level sensor. If that's correct then what would be the consequences of damaging that connector? I was bleeding my brakes today and I accidentally poured a little too fast into the reservoir and a bit of fluid spilled out where some got onto the level sensor connector. Some fluid actually got inside the connector so I had to unplug it and clean it as best as I can. Now my brake pedal travel is really long, not quite to the floor but getting close, and I can't even engage ABS when I stomp on it all the way. It's like I have to do twice the leg work to make the brakes engage sufficiently. I'm thinking I must still have quite a bit of air in the system and I just need to bleed again. But could a damaged fluid level sensor in some way contribute to what I'm experiencing?

 

is it connection 44? if so, than yes, that is the brake fluid level switch. the other ones in that area have to do with VDC relay and actuator.

 

i'm sure you looked at the same diagram as me

sorry, can't help with your other question.

i wouldn't imagine it would have much affect. the brake application should only depend on the fluid in the line. the sensor is prolly only designed to turn on the warning light. only my guess.

good luck darren. hopefully it's just air in the lines

 

thanks vinh. i figured that it jsut triggers the warning light as well when it gets low. but jsut want to be sure.
