Check the brake fluid level:
• Open the hood of your car and locate the brake fluid reservoir. It is usually a clear plastic container with a black cap.
• Check the fluid level. It should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks on the reservoir.
• If the fluid level is low, add brake fluid of the correct type (DOT 3 or DOT 4) until the fluid reaches the "MAX" mark.
Inspect the brake lines:
• Check the brake lines for any leaks or damage. Look for any cracks, bulges, or areas where the lines are rubbing against other components.
• If you find any leaks or damage, you will need to replace the affected brake line.
Check the brake pads:
• Remove the wheels from your car and inspect the brake pads. They should have at least 1/4 inch of material left on them.
• If the brake pads are worn down, you will need to replace them.
Check the master cylinder:
• The master cylinder is the component that pressurizes the brake fluid and sends it to the brake calipers.
• If the master cylinder is faulty, it can cause the brake pedal to go all the way to the floor.
• You can check the master cylinder by looking for any leaks or damage. If you find any problems, you will need to replace the master cylinder.
If you are unable to identify and fix the problem yourself, it is important to take your car to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
