Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Pontiac G5 and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The brake fluid level switch monitors the level of brake fluid in the master cylinder. When the body control module (BCM) sees the brake fluid level switch input grounded, it turns ON the Red Brake Warning indicator and sends a serial data message to the electronic brake control module (EBCM) that the brake fluid level is low.
