Soft brake pedal/excessive pedal pressure - 2001 Intrepid w/ABS
Just finished reading the recent post(s) about this subject. This
problem with braking describes my '01 Intrepid that I bought in 2003. I never liked it but figured that's just the way it is. In 2004 I replaced one front caliper, both front rotors and pads because they were all needed. I bled the daylights out of the system - essentially flushed it with new 3 liters of new fluid until I had clean, clear fluid at all 4 corners of the car. Still the brake pedal was mushy (still is). After reading the previous posts, I see two potential causes : 1) A problem with the vacuum booster 2) The Scan Tool should have been used during bleeding !! This ****es me a bit because when I bought the brake parts at the local Chrysler dealer in 2004 I asked if there was anything special I needed to do or know about bleeding the system and they said "no" - they just bleed the brakes until all the bubbles are gone, and that's it. Comments/advice appreciated. Looks like I should buy a proper shop manual and a Scan Tool (?). Thanks...Phil |
