I don't understand this claim. I thought the PDWA is a switch which alerts
the driver (via the brake light) of a low brake fluid pressure situation in
ONE of the TWO brake circuits. Since the front and rear brakes are separate
hydraulic circuits, if one circuit gets drained of fluid, you still have the
other (unless of course the leak is such that both circuits drain, but I
think this implies two leak points). So this warning system doesn't seem so
bad does it?

If the above is true, why would the PDWA be dumb and worthless?

Am I missing something in how the TR6 brake system works?
