So it definitely only appears to be at high speeds 60+ mph
See video. Essentially took foot off gas when I was over 60mph and the vehicle felt like it was starting to brake / lose speed quickly, I put my foot back on the gas and RPM spiked.
My plan is remove the pads on the front passenger and rear driver side and to check pads and caliper piston.
If the caliper piston is seized my plan is to replace the entire caliper. Question, is the brake bleeding procedure on a 2019 Ford Transit Connect unique in the sense that it requires...
Yes I changed all pads. The front right pads didn’t look terrible when I went to go replace them. Nothing like the rear driver side show in the original post.
Drove the car again today and the problem described in the original post is still there. I rechecked with temp gun.
Variability with the temp gun but this is what I’m getting. I can smell the heat coming from front passenger side.
100-115 front driver side
200-323 front passenger side...
Update. I drove it with the eco mode turned off and the braking sensation when coasting hasn’t occurred. I’ll continue to watch it. However, check engine light came on this morning. Attached is the message. I plan on scanning it when I get home today to see if it provides a specific code.
Temperatures below. Not sure what’s normal but they all seem fairly close to one another.
145 front driver side
177 front passenger side
172 rear driver side
138 rear passenger side
Yes when I change the pads and rotors I wire brushed and greased the guide pins. I also did check the fit of the new pads on the bracket and there weren’t any issues there. I even derusted the area on the bracket that the pad ears rest on.
I also came across something called Active Deceleration Fuel Shutoff which sounds like what’s happening. Below is a description I found online. How do I confirm whether or not my Transit Connect has this feature?
I just jacked up the car and was able to turn both back wheels without any issues. They spin freely. I ordered an infrared thermometer and should be able to measure temperature for each wheel tomorrow. Thing is if the rear caliper was sticking I'm assuming I wouldn’t be able to turn the wheels...
I drove it today and it did it multiple times and no light / codes. Just checking by hand the rear driver side wheel does feel hotter than rear passenger side.
It’s only happened when wife has been driving so not sure on the codes. I have a scanner. Would there a record of the codes if I checked with the scanner?
