Could be an incline is making the fluid level low at the sensor point at that location. Does it have an unusual incline in any axis?



Absolutely flat. There is a mild bend there, but nothing compared to corners and the traffic circle. For that matter, we can get out and drive all afternoon and it said nothing until that spot.


A lot of those sensors average the reading over quite some time to avoid false positives. It's possible that the last few miles of road have just enough average slope or contain just enough curves that the sensor averages "low" right at that spot with the speed of traffic.
