How to get air out of ABS module?ronald - 1994 Cadillac DeVille - Brakes - 1/11/2012Bled Brakes per manuel and still only half peddal?-
1/10/2012 Spoon SportsI dont think you don't need to bleed the abs. Just bleed the brakes correctly and you'll be fine. How did you bleed your brakes? did you start from the one nearest the reservoir to the farthest?
1/11/2012 ronaldI had a old rusty line and it blew out I couldnt see the leak so I thaught it was the Master Cylinder so I replaced that same thing! so I looked further and found the bad line n replaced that too. Then I Bled/Primed the Master no air! then started from furthest wheel to the nearest and blead them all got out a ton of air all around, had a High solid brake pedal with car off (Not running) then started the car and the pedal is really low when running now, not spungy just low,
1/11/2012 ronaldThen I read that on the 94 delille should be bled from the closest wheel to the furthest wheel so I tried dooing it in that order and it was still the same, so I went back to the origional master cylinder and tried it all over with that one and same results?? (I thaught the new Master could have been bad so I tried the old one) and still the same thing?? Ive done a million brake jobs but they all came out perfect , But this one has me stumped, But it has a Early ABS system and that seems to be? -
1/10/2012 yboy82In your vehicle the ABS system is bled the same as the regular brake system. What do you mean by still only half pedal?
1/11/2012 ronaldHalf way doun or closer to the floor before the breaks start working and 2inches from floor to stop normal, Too close to the bottom for me? Any help would be apreciated? Thanks Ronnie. -

1/12/2012 ronaldok pushrod adjusted now but still very little responce on rear wheels? this problem is killing me!
1/12/2012 Jay GironThe only thing else is a jammed proportioning valve. bleeding the valve is usually the only way to fix it,
if not replace the valve.
1/12/2012 Jay GironGood Luck !

How do you change the e brake switch that is on the auto release assbob - 2000 Cadillac DeVille - Brakes - 12/30/2011E brake light won't turn off brake system is fine-
12/30/2011 HouseCallAutoThen that would mean that you could reach up and manually depress the switch and confirm that the battery voltage is no longer flowing through this switch that you suspect is your cause. I have never had to replace one ever in all my 36 years doing this so I am skeptical and believe that your cause is something else, like maybe the float in the master cylinder sticking.
12/30/2011 HouseCallAutotry unplugging the connector that goes to the plastic reservoir for the float, shut the car off and see iof the light is out.

-
12/15/2011 TechSamAre there screws holding the rotor to the spindle? if so the the screws off and if not then they are just stuck on with rust so hit the rotor from the back side with a rubber mallet, some times they are stuck on very bad and you end up wrecking the rotor or spindle.
