Brake Feel

[Ewok]

I have an interesting one for yas...

My VZ SV6 seems to, as of late, be giving a weird sort of feedback through the brake pedal. Lemme explain,

Say for instance I am coming up to a corner at a rate of knotts (like you do ..) and you have JUST started to brake ever so lightly, go over a bump in the road, and feel a slight vibration in the brake pedal. Anyone know what could cause this?

Not worried about it at all, just thought I might mention it because its a little weird, theres absolutely NO problem braking or anything at all.

an eager abs system maybe, could be just the vibration of the bump going though to the pedal?

Feels like a little vibration coming through the pedal yeah, its not as if its forcing my foot back up at all

can you hear weird grinding, car is going to explode sort of noises? if you can its abs, with these new systems you dont get much feedback through the pedal but its damm noisy

I think I had the same noise going over tram tracks, I think it was the abs being a bit premeture. It was pretty damn noisy when it happened...

Not hearing any weird noises at all no. The car sounds perfectly fine. Does ABS come on when you are say braking into a puddle and start aquaplaning (loss of traction in general) because I think it might be something like I the ABS is engaging and I feel the vibration/lightening of the pedal

yes sounds like abs, these new abs systems are different to early systems, you dont have to be pushing the pedal hard at all for it to start operating,

there is a bridge in our town that goes over the highway, the bridge is on an angle and going off the other side off the bridge back onto tar, the abs will regulate without fail every time

The little pulse you can feel/hear is abs. Kicks in very easy if you slowing and hit some uneven road.

Bingo Coz it feels like the pedal dips away from my foot (vibration sort of feel) and then when my foot falls with it it catches again and regains feel. Glad to know its just the ABS and that it actually works then heh. Thanks for the tips guys.
