I guess I should have mentioned that this is in prep to flush/change the brake fluid in the system.

Are there any hints/tricks that people know to remove this thing, or is it not really necessary? Also, there seems to be a sensor of some sort since there are the two wires coming out of the reservoir cap...I assume it senses your brake fluid level...but if it detects low...how does it tell you? Blink a dashboard light? Buzzer? Fault code?
