The defect
Wiring connections in an electrical connector to the master cylinder reservoir fluid level sensors were reversed and fail to indicate low fluid levels as specified by fmvss 105, hydraulic brake systems. consequence of defect: sensor will not transmit signal to brake warning light when the fluid level IS less than one fourth full. without this warning signal the fluid level may decrease to the point where partial or complete loss of brake would be experienced and may lead to an accident.
The remedy
Re-configure wiring to the fluid level sensor connector.
