I looked at my master cylinder resivor and didn't notice the level low, is the front and rear resivor in the same plastic case?

the dash display does not tell you. you have to do a visual check on the front and rear wheels to find out which pad is too low and is tripping the sensor. it could be both sensors that are tripped. as UCrewX5 was saying, there is one sensor in the front on the driver's side brake pad and another on the passenger side rear.

i have pictures in the article that explains how they work and how to get to them and exchange them too. very simple process.

the sensors are on the brake pad itself. not in the master cylinder...
