Brake Fluid Level Switch Malfunction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Pontiac Torrent and 2009 Chevrolet Equinox. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the brake fluid level switch.
  2. Test for less than 1 ohm between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool EBCM Brake Fluid Level Sensor parameter is OK.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
  4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and ground. Verify the scan tool EBCM Brake Fluid Level Sensor parameter is Low.
    • If not the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the IPC.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the brake fluid level switch.
