There is a problem that happened to my car today. The symptoms are as follows: TCS won't come on, message on dash says,"brake fluid is low",and my dealer said the TCS sensor in the master cylinder is faulty so the whole master cylinder might have to be replaced.(Note:Car only has 1473 miles)Has this problem happened to any of you guys?

 

Oops,wrong section of the forum.

 

Theres a TCS sensor in the master cylinder? Thats kind of backwards isnt it?

 

My ford dealer said,"TC is an an integrated system with the brakes and the TC sensor is in the master cylinder".

 

Yeah obviously, but what the hell is it going to do? Check if you have enough friggin brake fluid before it cuts power and brakes? Is it really going to make a difference?

 

Amazingly,in the same day,the problem stopped.TCS works fine now,no low brake fluid warning on dash, and everything works ok.

 

yea...um mine did the same thing as yours and it came back about a week later. A matter-a-fact, its happened twice and has been serviced under warranty twice, feb 06 and nov 06!!!

 

I am getting a new TCS sensor to stop the problem from happening again. I think it would be a good idea for you to get a new TCS sensor too since you have the same problem.

 

I had heard this is a venting problem with the Master Brake Resevoir Cap, which is also tied into the fluid leak on the GT's

I ordered my car with no ABS, no TCS so hopefully I averted the dreaded fluid leak problem.
