98 Taurus HELP! Brakes

Did you bleed the brakes? There could be air in the system.

The gauge may be reporting incorrectly, but I am unsure how to test it. I know for the temperature sender if you unplug it and then ground it out the gauge will go all the way up, but I don't know where the sender is for the ABS.

Do the brakes appear to work properly?

Hope this helps.

No, I didn't bleed the brakes. I think I'll try that.

The brakes appear to work properly, although every now and then they feel spongy (a good reason to bleed them).

I'll try bleeding them next. I'm at a loss.

Thanks! Pete

Ok, I think I've checked all the obvious stuff. I've decided to break down and pay someone to read to ABS codes.

Question: Will and ODB II scanner read the ABS codes, or is there a special code scanner for the ABS system? Trying to consider whether to pay $90 to have someone read the codes, or buy a code scanner.

Autozone or schucks reads codes for free. Not sure if ABS stuff will come up, but it's worth a shot.

Carl

Autozone only had an OBD II code reader, which showed no error codes stored in the computer. I'm assuming this means the ABS system has its own computer. Thanks for the help, Carl. I had no idea Autozone had code scanners.
