Sometimes it takes an unusual procedure to get the job done, especially when you can’t find any other solution. SureTrack community member erick01<\/strong> had a Chevrolet S10 pickup in the shop with a soft brake pedal and after several bleedings, the pedal would still go to the floor. They posed the question to the community, and with the help of fellow community member ironnutz<\/strong>, and others, they were able to resolve the issue quickly.<\/p>\n

The following Community Fix summarizes the interaction between members of the community that led to the solution.<\/p>\n

Vehicle<\/strong>
\n1996 Chevrolet S10 Pickup 4.3L<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>
\nSoft brake pedal with engine running. Repeat bleeding procedure.<\/p>\n

Complaint<\/strong>
\nFirm brake pedal with engine off. Pedal slowly drifts to floor with engine running. With engine running, the rear chamber of the master cylinder bubbles constantly while brake pedal is being pushed.<\/p>\n

Diagnostic Steps Performed\/Parts Replaced<\/strong>
\nInstalled two new master cylinders. Brake booster is fine. Blocked the lines off after the equalizer and before the abs unit and the pedal stays firm. There is no way to energize the ABS unit with my scanner because it is an early production 1996 model. Module mounted on coolant tank. Bleeding brakes in sequence and there are no leaks. Have run 3 large bottles of brake fluid through it and there is no air in the lines. Need way to energize the ABS unit to help with the bleeding.<\/p>\n

Best Answer from Community Member ironnutz<\/strong>
\nDo some panic stops in gravel to get the ABS to activate, then bleed again. Sounds more like a booster issue. Pinch off the vacuum hose to the booster, start it up and see if the pedal still fades.<\/p>\n

Cause<\/strong>
\nAir trapped in ABS system preventing complete bleeding.<\/p>\n

Correction<\/strong>
\nTried suggested panic stops and then bleeding system until problem was corrected. Booster was not at fault.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
