I had the front brake pads and rotors done?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros. Com.

That is an odd one. Since there seems to be a delay or if you press harder it over compensates, I have to ask a question. When you release the brakes, do they release as they should? Does there seem to be any excessive play in the brake pedal?

Let me know.

I hate to even ask this, but does it have rear drum or disc brakes?

The only other thing that I can think of that could cause an issue is the brake booster vacuum pressure switch. In order to ensure adequate brake power assistance in every situation, the brake booster is equipped with a partial vacuum sensor. The brake booster vacuum pressure sensor is located beside the brake booster. Pictures 1 - 4 show the sensor and location information. There is a test procedure, but it requires specialized tooling. Here are the directions. The last two pictures correlate with these directions.

COMPONENT TESTS AND GENERAL DIAGNOSTICS
Inspection

1. Check installation status of BBVPS and Vacuum hose or damage of vacuum hose.
2. Connect GDS to DLC (Data Link Cable).
3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
4. Monitor "BBVPS" parameter on GDS.

Fig.2) Brake pressure signal

NOTE:
With a brake partial vacuum that is too low, the ISG function also starts without activity on the part of the driver.
Insufficient brake partial vacuum can lead to safety risks during braking maneuvers, when rolling on an incline. To prevent this, the engine is started.

I hope something here helps.

Let me know,

Welcome back:
The proportioning valve regulates pressure between the front and rear brakes. Honestly, I do not think that would cause it. The sensor, on the other hand, regulates the boost pressure which can definitely cause what you described. I have a feeling that may be the issue. You may want to have it scanned by a shop that has the right scanner.

Welcome back. That is a term I have not heard in years. Brake fade is the result of brakes overheating and lessening the effectiveness of friction. The result, it feels like you partially lose your braking ability. Way back in the 1960's and prior, most cars came with four wheel drum brakes. That is when brake fade was a big issue. With the addition of front disc brakes, the problem was not totally but mostly eliminated.

Unless this only happens under conditions when the brakes get extremely hot (long hill, high speed stops.) I do not think that is it.

Have you tried the sensor?

Let me know,
Joe

Honestly, I do not know if any. I wish I had an easy answer.

Hi,

Replacement isn't too hard. First, here is a link that shows in general how to replace brake pads and rotors:

You can use the link as a guide.

Here are the directions specific to your vehicle. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.

REMOVAL
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle and make sure it is securely supported. Remove the rear wheel.
2. Release the parking brake.
3. Remove the guide rod bolt (A). After, raise the caliper assembly (B), and support it with a wire.

4. Remove the pad shim (A) and pad assembly (B).

INSTALLATION
1. Install the pad retainers (A) to the caliper (B).

2. Check the foreign material at the pad shim (A) and the back of the pads (B).

3. Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability. Keep grease off the discs and pads.
4. Install the brake pads (B) and pad shim (A) on the caliper bracket.
5. If you are reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency. Push in the piston using SST (09581-11000) so that the caliper will fit over the pads. Make sure that the piston boot is in position to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper down.
6. Pivot caliper down into position. Being careful not to damage the pin boot, install the guide rod bolt (A) and tighten it to the specified torque.

7. Install the brake caliper.
8. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints and connections, and retighten if necessary.
9. Depress the brake pedal several times to make sure the brakes work, then test-drive.

NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake pads have been replaced as a set. Several applications of the brake pedal will restore the normal pedal stroke.
