Q: no brakes at all
When i press on the brake pedal, the pedal goes all the way to the floor and the brakes do not engage. So if the car is in drive, the brakes will not press into the rotors. I replaced the brake master cylinder and bench bled it. I have bled the lines at the wheels as well. If I take the calipers off of the rotors and press the brake pedal the calipers will move out like there supposed to. But on the car, they don't have any pressure to stop the rotors. Could this be air in the ABS or a bad ABS module? Is there a way to test the ABS module without a scan tools?
