Well, The fluid sensor has a Float Bow like ur toilet in the fluid bottle, with a Magnet attach to it. if the fluid is "kinda low", it'll swing low enuff to trip the switch when you go over bump or going uphill/downhill.

when you replace it, you replace the outside sensor. The one with 2 wires going into it.

Yeah, I know and thanks.

I will check in the morning for the brake fluid level.

Bumps are not causing any chime / BRAKE Light to go ON.

It is only in tight turns and going down hill in a highway exit ramp.

I know which one causes it and it is like clock work!!!

Glad to learn that I do not need Brakes!!!

Thanks again!

Okay good people!

During a Trip to Miami, Florida and West Palm Beach from Orlando, Florida this past weekend (Saturday, June 4th, 2011), I finally stopped into a Miami, Florida DISCOUNT-ADVANCE AUTO PARTS and they connected their Computer CODE hand held device and all was okay and no ugly codes were detected. They performed the read twice to make sure the procedure was done correctly.

I bought one pint of quality Synthetic DOT3 Brake Fluid and the AUTO Parts employee topped off the Brake reservoir. We noticed that it took right around 3oz. to Top-Off the reservoir.

Once back on the road visiting family, I happen to find a expressway exit ramp that forced the car in a tight Right hand turn and NO chime NOR "BRAKE" warning was noticed on the DASH!

Seems like this solved the issue!

Thanks!
Carlos

Make sure you get your brake pad inspected before you do that. Most of the time is because your brake pad linings are low. The brake reservoir lines are designed to go to LOW when your brake linings are worn. You top off the bottle, you could be just masking the problems.
