It just snaps in there, give it a yank and it should pop out... I remove it to clean the res. when flushing because it gets full of crud... as for the sensor it detects brake fluid level and will illuminate your brake warning lamp (same as ebrake lamp)

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?
