Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Whenever the brake master cylinder reservoir is removed from the brake master cylinder, new seals must be installed.
The brake master cylinder reservoir:
- is mounted to the brake master cylinder.
- holds the fluid supply for each brake master cylinder hydraulic piston.
- provides visual fluid level markings.
- contains the brake master cylinder fluid level warning switch.
On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the reservoir is shared with the clutch master cylinder.
