Pressure Differential Brake Warning Switch

This switch is used to warn vehicle operator that one of the hydraulic systems has failed. When hydraulic pressure is equal in both front and rear systems, switch piston remains centered and does not contact terminal in switch

If brake system fails, hydraulic pressure moves piston toward failed side. Shoulder of piston then contacts switch terminal to provide for brake warning light.
