NOTICE
Do not remove brake fluid level switch.
Removal and reinstallation will spoil its
original performance.
If faulty condition is observed, replace brake
master reservoir assembly with new one.
Disconnect brake fluid level switch connector (1), check
resistance between terminals of brake fluid level switch
(2). If check result is not as specified, replace brake
master reservoir assembly.
