Hey, i have problem with brakes on my LC 2003, 4.2 after reflush brake fluid.
Problem is that brake pedal is little bit soft. And what can be see the most problem is when you stop on redlights, using brake pedal. Car will move after few seconds. It will like release the brake. When you push pedal more, you have few more seconds of not mowing car.
We bleeded every thing 4 times. All wheels, cYlinder, when i pump pedal for 40 times and turn the ignition on, it will stop pump after 40 seconds. what do you think, is it still buble in the lines, or it can be something else? Thank you
 
You probably need to download and install Techstream on a laptop, there is a brake bleeding procedure in there that cycles the solenoids in the ABS system to get rid of air bubbles trapped in the system

I have techstream. Ill try it when i take car from mechanic
 
over 40 seconds indicates air in system, or low battery voltage.

Do not let fluid level go below low/minimum, while bleeding.

Try bleeding one rear then the other, first. Key on, brake pedal held down (do not pump), open bleeder. Close bleeder before releasing pedal, as always!
Then move to fronts. Here pump pedal 20 times the first time, than 5 times between each bleed. 10 times on furthers from brake master 7 on other, minimum.

Drive on dirt, wet or icy road at 35 MPH. Stomp on brakes activating ABS. 3 times minimum.

Make sure battery is fully charged, when test booster run time. You'll need a minimum of 12Volts
