Unhappy HELP! Spongy Break!!

I have a 2001EB expy. Yesterday while driving back from the store I was breaking for a stop light and my break pedel was real spongy. I had to put the thing to the floor to stop. It kept this up all the way home. It is still doing it this morning.

I checked the break fluid and it is fine. Check from leaks could not find any. I have no error codes. Does anyone have any idea what the heck is going on here!!

Thanks!! HELP FAST PLEASE!!

BJ

BJ, the first thing I'd do is to bleed the system of any air accumulation. I'll presume you've done this before, but let me know otherwise. If this doesn't work it could be your wheel bearings. I'll bet it's just air in the lines.

Good Luck.

Sounds like air in the system to me too. Try bleeding them and see what happens. If that fixes it, the next question is...how did the air get into your system?
