| Description of the problem | While driving and trying to stop on a wet, snow-covered road my abs system began to kick in. After coming to a complete stop the brake pedal had a "soft" feel and could be forced to the ground. Since this first incident, the brake pedal goes extremely soft after the anti-lock brake system engages. My car can still brake, but i have to press the pedal almost to touching the floor. It will stay soft a while (at least 20 min, probably longer), but i found that if i pump them hard a few times (like while at a red light) it then returns to normal. After research, it was found that the abs control module is faulty and needs to be replaced. |
