The brake master cylinder is a dual piston type. The brake master cylinder operates as follows:
- When the brake pedal is applied, pressure is applied by mechanical linkage to the primary and secondary piston.
- Brake master cylinder pistons apply hydraulic pressure to the 2 hydraulic circuits.
The brake master cylinder consists of the brake master cylinder reservoir and brake master cylinder body.
The brake master cylinder reservoir is mounted to the brake master cylinder. The brake master cylinder reservoir holds fluid supply for each brake master cylinder hydraulic piston. The brake master cylinder reservoir provides visual fluid level markings and contains the brake master cylinder fluid level sensor.
