Diagnosis is key. I had a persistant spongy brake pedal, replaced the master cylinder, bled the brakes twice and still no luck. 2 mechanic shops told me I had a bad ABS unit that needed to be replaced. I wasn't convinced so took it to a third mechanic recommended to me by a friend who diagnosed air in the ABS unit and pumped the air out of it. Instant fix, my brakes feel really sharp now at a small fraction of the price quoted by the other two shops. Guess who will be my mechanic from now on.

Stuck caliper sliders too. Piston side pad pushing unopposed against the rotor and flexing it.

This is rare but also true

How do you test if master cylinder is good/bad or if it might be the ABS modulator?
@motorcarnut
@motorcarnut Год назад
You need special tools to test each one. But if the brake pedal is soft or brakes make vehicle pull to one side, that can be either air in the system of a bad master cylinder if the brake calipers are good.

At the stop light car moves forward when I have foot on the brake and I have to push hard on the brake pedal to keep it stopped

Could be a partially seized caliper should get that checked asap. Can be dangerous

How to release the air in the ABS unit please? Is does it mean that no need to change the ABS unit ? My front caliper doesn’t release! And the garage did scanning and there nothing showing in the scanner and also no ABS or other sign showing in the dashboard ( Kia sportage 2015 )
@motorcarnut
@motorcarnut 15 дней назад
Got to bleed the abs unit with a scan tool to get the air out.
@rafikdjemili1886
@rafikdjemili1886 15 дней назад
@@motorcarnut unfortunately I don’t have any tools but I would like to ask you is it the same scanner that they are using for scanning cars to detect broblems?
@motorcarnut
@motorcarnut 14 дней назад
@rafikdjemili1886 yes but it has to have an option for bleeding brakes in the directional menu

What about low pad wear? Would that cause more distance pedal travel before brake engagement compared to brand new pads taking less distance pedal travel for brake engagement?
@motorcarnut
@motorcarnut 2 месяца назад
Not really because as the pads wear the pistons take up the slack and you don’t really feel it.

I have the same problem right now and actually the big problem is the ABS Pump which has a malfunction and I will replace asap.

Bad brake cap also.

@motorcarnut Месяц назад
Brake cap? If you mean master cylinder cap, no, that is so fluid won't spill.
