01’ - Intermittent spongy brake problem
I have a 2001 explorer sport/trac and I just replaced the front pads and rotors. After replacing the pads and rotors, I bled the brakes and replaced brake fluid. Now I am experiencing an intermittent brake problem. Most of the time, the brakes work just fine, but about every 1 in 20 times I experience a spongy brake pedal just as I am stopping the vehicle. The situation is like this. I will press the brake and truck will stop as normal, but just as the vehicle is stopping, the brake pedal will vibrate a little and drop to about half way to the floor. The truck still stops and taking my foot off the brake and re-pressing it, seems to fix the problem. I have read that the problem can be the master cylinder or it could be an ABS sensor problem. Does anyone have an idea or test to help isolate the problem?
