The sensor has a magnetic switch in the column behind the float.
As you can see, the float doesn't move up or down much (6mm)and inside the float is a magnet.
If you hold the sensor up to your ear and move the float up you should be able to hear a slight 'click'. That 'click' is the switch closing.

So if your brake fluid levels drop too low, it clicks the switch and even if you fill it, you will still get errors until you reset it as you described?

David, it doesn't need to be reset, it just floats up/down switching on/off.

So if you top, it up, then it should float higher and switch off the low brake fluid warning.
