Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for testing a brake fluid sensor of a vehicle braking system, wherein the brake fluid sensor can indicate the fluid level in the fluid reservoir, wherein the method has the following steps: (1) Altering the fluid level in at least one region of the at least one fluid reservoir by means of at least one braking force generating device; and (2) Detecting whether the at least one brake fluid sensor emits a signal indicating the modified fluid level in the at least one region of the at least one fluid reservoir.
Claims11
A method for testing a brake fluid sensor for a vehicle braking system having wheel brakes, wherein the brake fluid sensor indicates the fluid level in at least one fluid reservoir, wherein the method includes the steps of:
- altering the fluid level in at least one region of the at least one fluid reservoir by means of at least one braking force generating device while the fluid reservoir is fluidly disconnected from all the wheel brakes;
- and
- detecting whether the at least one brake fluid sensor emits a signal indicating the modified fluid level in the at least one region of the at least one fluid reservoir.
