Does it look like a recent install? I'm wondering if there is a car side problem / version coding issue making it go red.



Long peddle travel would be normal otherwise the back up system would be engaging in regular operation.

How did this compare to a regular system that lost power assist? ( RE: like moving a non SBC car around that isn't running. )




Still worth scanning for codes as a data point.

There are a lot of emotional threads around concerning the SBC, real data is needed.
The SBC module could have been installed by someone that did not know what they were doing, and maybe the system just needs to be bled. It looks like fresh brake fluid around the fittings. The pedal travel is abnormal in my opinion, but it does stop with little pedal force. I only felt the brakes the few feet I drove it, so I have no idea how it would feel/stop on the road. I could still scan for codes......Rich
