APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING MOISTURE

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for detecting moisture in brake fluid of vehicle brake systems. A moisture detection apparatus comprises a moisture detection module configured to output a signal based on moisture content of brake fluid stored in a reservoir, and a controller configured to identify the moisture content of the pressurized medium based on the output signal. The moisture detection module comprises a substrate, a plurality of electrode patterns provided on the substrate and configured to be submerged in the brake fluid, a connector provided on the reservoir and connected to the controller, and a signal line connecting the electrode patterns and the connector. The controller generates a monitoring signal based on output signals from the electrode patterns, compares the monitoring signal with preset reference data, and identifies the moisture content based on the comparison result.
