Brake lines catastrophic failure, replacement, codes
Bayzapper10 posted a topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
16 year old new driver took my '08 to go see the grandparents, approaching a round-about began braking and nothing! She was fortunately at a low speed and turned to the right to avoid a rear end and the gravel shoulder stopped the vehicle. Found low brake fluid in the reservoir, steady drip above the front left tire, ABS and Brake warning lights on so towed it home, pulled the front tires and found driver's side brake line burst and the passenger side frayed and split. Easy replacement, took less than 30 minutes to remove and replace the lines (13mm and 14mm wrench), refill the reservoir, bleed the brakes. Problem is the ABS warning light is still on and the "Check Brake System" warning is on the information screen. Codes are C1478-AO and C1480-AO, Left (Right) Front Wheel Brake Pressure Control Plausibility Failure. Any experience or thoughts as to how to clear the faults? -
I have an 08. Recently the right front brake has been dragging pretty bad. Its odd though in that it only happens when the weather is warm. When it does though it gets super hot and makes some really bad noises. Just wanted to see what your thoughts are? Do I just need to replace the caliper?

I'm about to attempt replacing the master cylinder in my 2009 FEH. Any tips on what to look out for? I haven't seen any guides online for my specific vehicle, or even the Escape in general really. I'm just going to assume it's very similar to any other master cylinder I've previously replaced... Any info you all can help with would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
