Testing a pneumatic brake bleeder, still having a soft brake pedal on the 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner Grr

[@RBTrujillo1]

Have you fixed this soft pedal brake problem? I'm curious. I was Working on a 81 vette with the same problem, after pulling out my hair, I found (after taking the entire brake system apart) I found a cracked disc brake caliper pad on the right rear. Vettes have a 4 piston caliper. I hope that you got this issue solved since you posted this video 3 months ago. I'm a new subscriber.

Yes. Make sure you bench bleed the master cylinder first and do not allow it to run dry during the bleeding process.

I'm having similar issue w spongy brakes in my 3rd gen 1996.. What year is ur 4Runner?? bc I think from 96-98 they had to use a special service tool to bleed the ABS module because it did not interface with the main ECU.. From years 99 and up u can use a scan to to actuate the brakes ABS because it has a newer ECM and will interface with abs module. I'm still trying to locate the special tool, that's been discontinued. No luck yet, it's a pain in the ass.

I think the 2000 model is the one you are referring to. The ABS module was integrated into the master cylinder and looks very different. I’ve sold this one and I think it was a ‘99 if I recall correctly.

Is this more harbor freight crap.

Nope, it’s Amazon crap. 😁
