Default brake problems

Hi, all

I just had my brakes done, new pads and routers on the front, after the brake job the pedal was soft and I would hear a loud pop while baking hard. Anways, I took it back and they said there was air in the lines and that the rear pads needed djusted, they did that and know when stopping lightly the abs system engages, it doesnt do it at hard stops, and only dose it once and a while. Any Ideas?

thanks

mike

Whenthe ABS system detects a malfunction, it'll store a code in the computer. Disconnect and reconnect your battery to reset the ECU and clear the codes. This will hopefully resolve the problem. If the ABS light comes on again, however, you should run the ECU codes. I don't know what year your vehicle is, but if it has OBD, you can do this procedure yourself. If it doesn't, or you aren't comfortable performing the diagnostics, you can take your vehicle to AutoZone, and they'll run the codes for free.
