How can I tell if my Isuzu NPR is working?
When you pull up on the wiper lever, that activates the exhaust brake. The light on the dash has to be on for it to be activated. And “IF” everything is working right, the brake will come on while you are driving along, you let off on the gas pedal. You will hear a “whooshing”sound. That tells you it is working. Not sure about the tranny light.
Why does the NPR pedal go to floor first time?
Re: 05 isuzu npr brake pedal goes to floor first time and… I’ve found on vehicles with drum rear brakes, if the rear brakes aren’t adjusted correctly, the pedal must be pumped up to get good pedal. The reason is you have to make up the distance from the shoe to the drum before the pedal builds pressure in the system.
What causes mushy pedals on self adjusting brakes?
Self adjusting brakes can be worse. Worn/loose front wheel bearings can push pads back and cause a similar mushy pedal. Check for leaks, check adjustment, bleed before condemning any parts. Bad booster or pump=rock hard pedal. Bad master cylinders usually won’t hold a pedal. If it pumps up, it will sink.
