Abstract
A fluid fill system includes a fill nozzle having a head configured to be received in a reservoir of a vehicle component for filling the reservoir with a fluid and a fluid fill sensor system having an air hose coupled to the head. The fluid fill sensor system has a pressure sensor pneumatically sensing when the fill nozzle is properly seated with the vehicle component by sensing an increase in a pressure of the fluid fill sensor system.
