This gives the feeling of a soft pedal and a person will usually describe a scenario where they say they push the pedal down and it feels like nothing is happening and then all of a sudden there seems to be a pedal. A good indication of this condition is lack of fluid flow from the brake bleeders. Follow the vehicle s manufacturer specified bleeding procedure. It looks like abs could make a soft pedal if some of the return relief valves are leaky.

In brief one valve blocks hydraulic pressure to the wheel and another relief value provides a way for the fluid to get back to the master cylinder with a temporary reservoir maybe the spongy part of the system as the system cycles.

When you step on your brake pedal the piston compresses the brake fluid behind it in the master cylinder. In this scenario the booster pin gap between the brake booster that goes into the back of the master cylinder may be too large. The brake pedal will go to the floor and subsequent efforts to get a satisfactory brake pedal will fail. Extreme force must be applied to brake but vehicle still moves.

Check if fluid comes out of master cylinder at line connection. The brake fluid under pressure travels through brake lines and is finally applied to your caliper. Ensure master cylinder is bench bled prior to installation. Bmw x5 technical articles 1999 2006 brake master cylinder replacement pelican technical article.
