Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Ford Freestyle, and 2006 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The brake master cylinder body and brake master cylinder reservoir are replaced as an assembly. The reservoir cannot be replaced separately from the brake master cylinder body.
The brake master cylinder reservoir:
- is mounted to the brake master cylinder body.
- holds fluid supply for each brake master cylinder hydraulic circuit.
- provides visual maximum and minimum fluid level markings.
- contains the brake master cylinder fluid level indicator switch.
The brake master cylinder fluid level indicator switch can be checked by putting a magnetic probe against the inside of the reservoir to activate the indicator switch.
