Just done a quick search and the only thing that seems to make sense is Automatic Warning System. Don't know if thats correct or not though. HTH

You mean the master cylinder

AWS (Auxillary Warning System) this applies to MK1's as they had a sensor built into it IIRC for the low level, on MK2's they do not have anything to do with the brakes on it, but it will activate the warning light (As would the MK1 in addition to the above (I think) in any case one wire is for the ABS and the other for the low level sender.

Auxillary Warning System mate. 1 plug, can't remember which one, goes to the ABS system, if the fluid is too low it sticks the warnign light on. The other one all Sierras have, Cos or otherwise, and is linked to the dash handbrake light, and lights up if the fluid level is too low

The Cos master cylinder is just the same as any other ABS model, lesser models had a rectangular flat one.

The black rectangular plug is the sender and the square one which is secured is the ABS one.
