2000 chevy astro van abs problem.
Chevy astro van brake pedal to the floor.
Brake pedal went to the floor seemed i would have no brakes.
Took vehicle to dealer and dealer was not able to solve the problem.
Attempts checks so far.
Brakes on a 97 chev astro have intermittent problem.
A low brake pedal can also be due to a fluid leak or worn brake linings.
Whether you are changing the pads or shoes you need to change them for both of the rear wheels together.
Bleed the brake lines as recommended by chevy to fix this.
They dont stop van after applying pressure to pedal if i pump pedal they stop van.
When attempting to stop the abs appears to kick on causing failure to stop.
Check the brake fluid level.
Release the brake pedal and wait 10 15 seconds for the master cylinder pistons to return to the home position.
When stopped the brake pedal goes to the floor and the brakes let go.
I took van to the mechanic 600 00 for new master cylinder and more do not have the list yet left the shop drive in van and abs brake went bonkers for a moment going five mph no problems with road etc seemed like right front.
They put answered by a verified chevy mechanic.
While the pedal is depressed to its full extent tighten the bleed screw.
My friend has a 93 astro van with awd.
When applying the brakes the brake pedal goes to the floor almost resulting in a collision.
If the fluid is full then continue onto brake fluid is full down further in this guide.
The brake fluid which is present at each bleed screw should be clean and free.
The chevy astro van may be equipped with both brake pads and shoes on its rear brakes.
Soft or spongy brake pedal.
Too much air in the system due to improper bleeding is usually the cause of this problem.
Repeat the previous steps for the remaining wheels.
The procedure can vary depending on the year of the van and if.
Double checked the vacuum lines thinking it might be the booster however the booster would make the brakes harder to push not softer and there weren t any issues with the lines.
Anytime you have a brake pedal that goes to the floor raise the hood and locate the brake master cylinder s reservoir.
The pads work with the brake pedal while the shoes primarily work with the parking brake.
When i press pedal it doesn t go to floor at all it just presses hard and won t press any harder until i pump pedal a couple times and then the work like they should the van keeps rolling and i have to pump pedal.
Using a flashlight check the level of the fluid or just remove the lid of the reservoir and look inside.
Slowly depress the brake pedal.
