| 发明名称 | Fluid level measurement probe | ||
| 摘要 | A probe operable to measure a fluid level including a tip movably mounted to a housing, the tip including a multiple of steps and a sensor mounted within the housing, the sensor selectively activated in response to movement of the tip toward the housing. A method of measuring a fluid within a chamber of a vehicle includes locating a probe with a tip including a multiple of steps into a fill port of a chamber, only one of the multiple of steps associated with the fill port; and pressing the probe toward the fill port such that a sensor within the probe is selectively activated in response to movement of the tip toward the housing, the sensor determining a distance to a fluid within the chamber. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A fluid measurement system, comprising: a probe including: a housing;a tip movably mounted to said housing, said tip having a distal end, and including a multiple of steps that increase in diameter from said distal end toward said housing; anda non-contact distance sensor mounted within said housing in a location for taking distance measurements through an inside of said tip and out said distal end, said sensor selectively activated in response to movement of said tip toward said housing. | ||
