ok guys here is the problem and i can use any help.
1997 Lexus ES300 240k miles
all 4 Brakes are locking up. Here is what we changed so far. Brake Pads, Master Cylinder, Brake Booster, ABS Pump. I cant think of any thing else. You drive for a min and then all 4 brakes will lock up. If we release the pressure from the lines it works then again a min later all 4 brakes lock up. I cant think of anything. Any advise will be appreciated

Are you sure all 4 brakes lock at the same time? Seeing you replaced the ABS pump and the master cylinder, the only thing left would be brake lines, calipers, and the ABS computer (I don't think the ABS computer is integrated into the module).

Disable the ABS system and go for a drive.

You need to put the car on a lift, remove all the wheels, put the car in gear and observe. Are you sure you don't have a missing spring on the brake pedal mechanism?

If you start the car and just let it idle, no touching the pedal, will the brakes lock?

I have also been experiencing this problem. Spent lots of money replacing abs controller, master cylinder, calipers... quite frustrated.
Was there a solution that worked for you?
