Hi All,
I have a '92 XJ I-6 auto with 170K miles. It has anti-lock brakes. When I press on the brake pedal it sometimes feels spongy. If I keep a steady light pressure on the peddle seems to drop somewhat and the "Brake" red light on the left dash cluster comes on. A quick pump makes the light go off. I don't notice the problem under steady firm pressure, just light pressure on the pedal.
My question is: what does the "Brake" light indicate? Does it mean that one of the master cylinder pressure chambers isn't holding pressure as well as the other...?
I've ordered a rebuilt master cylinder that I intend to put on to see if it cures the problem. Any advice?
Thanks
Mike
