The following are common symptoms of a failing brake master cylinder:
Reduced braking power or responsiveness: If the brake master pump is not functioning properly, the brake calipers may not gain enough pressure to fully activate, resulting in reduced braking power and responsiveness.
Soft or mushy brake pedals: Soft or mushy brake pedals can indicate air in the brake line, which can be caused by leaks in the brake master pump.
Brake fluid leakage: The leakage of the brake master pump will lead to brake fluid leakage, resulting in low brake fluid level and reduced braking power.
Warning lights or messages on the dashboard: Some vehicles’ sensors can detect a brake master pump failure, triggering warning lights or messages on the dashboard.
Grinding noise during braking: A failed brake master pump may not provide enough pressure to the brake calipers. As a result, the brake pads may not retract fully. This can cause the brake pads to grind the rotor, resulting in grinding noise during braking.
