2011 SHO Spongy Brakes

[foshofosho]

Hi all,

Looking for some insight to help my father in law.

He has been doing some repairs on my 2011 SHO and run into an issue. After replacing all four brake calipers, rotors, pads, and the master cylinder he feels like the brakes are still a little soft or spongy. He has bled the brakes at least twice now manually and even used his scanner to bleed them. He has not seen much improvement with any of these methods. He also has not seen any error codes come up as he has diagnosed the system.

Does anyone have any tricks or things he should look at? He's a competent mechanic but he's a little stumped on this. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Have the pads been properly bedded to the rotors?

if the main system has been bled, abs has been bled, and fluid has been flushed, normally that indicates a problem with the HCU.

you can certainly try the old fashioned way: braking hard enough to activate the abs. a few times in fwd. if that does not work, a few times in reverse. ultimately i feel the long term solution is still to replace the hcu. likely have to source from dealer directly or jy.
