jonuk80 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me diagnose a really annoying problem I'm having with my KA (2013) Zetec model. Recently (over the last couple of years) the brake fluid warning keeps randomly going off, and it's getting more frequent! I've taken it to a garage and they just say they've topped it up and it will be ok. I should also note that it's always been within the advisable limit and never dropped out of where it's supposed to be. Is this likely to be a faulty sensor, and if it is (or isn't) and ideas on what I can do? It's so annoying, especially as I know the car is operating okay otherwise. Thanks :) Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Has the fluid ever been changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 run the circuit with the level sensor bypassed and see if it occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonuk80 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'm fairly sure the brake fluid was changed at various intervals during services (although I can't categorically say yes...). Thanks Stef, I'm not much of a mechanic, but I can certainly pass this idea to mine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stef123 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 thing is, if your mechanic can't work this one out.. pretty basic stuff and diagnostic to work out what the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigpot1 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I’ve just got a 1.2 Ford Ka detective and it’s doing the same. Garage can’t find the fault. oil was changed. Does not show up on a diagnostic test. So its going back to the garage where I bought it again today. If they can’t find the fault then they can have the car back! Did you find out what the fault was on yours? So I can point them in the right direction!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
