  1. I have a 2013 Ford Edge. I am posting this just to add what I've been doing. I got an OBDLink cable that connects to my PC via USB and connects to the OBD on the car. I use Forscan software, and it gives you an option to bleed the ABS. Whenever my pedal goes soft, I just run this routine. Everything will work for months to a year. Before I got this software, what I was doing would go to a parking lot and go into reverse and slam on the brakes to engage the ABS. Both ways worked, but it was hard sometimes to get the ABS to engage. The first time my brakes had problems it was winter with snowy roads so it was very easy to get it to trigger the ABS but in the summer wasn't as easy. I've been doing this for a few years now.
  2. Hello all, I am in the same boat as you were in. I'm responding just in case somebody finds this forum like I did. What happens is my breaks will work but the pedal goes soft. In the snow I can make the ABS engage and then it usually started working again. I dont really want to spend the money to replace it at a shop, and I don't really want to fix it myself. So I got forscan software and compatible reader. It does have the abs autobleed procedure for me. All I do is run that and it fires the valves and then everything works again for about 3-6 months. I assume a valve is just getting stuck. But just wanted to share that's my work around and maybe this summer I'll deal with it more permanently or if it stops working for me.
