BRAKE RESERVOIR FLUID SENSING SYSTEM

摘要

A brake fluid level sensing system for a brake fluid reservoir of a vehicle includes a capacitance switch on a brake fluid reservoir responsive to changes in the dielectric value of the reservoir from a changing brake fluid level in the reservoir. A microcontroller connected to the capacitance switch discriminates between an actual low brake fluid level condition and a transient condition, and issues an alarm signal to a notification device when an actual low-level condition exists.
