2007 GS 350 Brake problem
#16
The symptoms that you describe are most likely related to hydraulic issues and not the rear calipers. Even if the rear calipers have issues the car will stop pretty well. A soft pedal issue needs to be checked by a qualified mechanic. I have replaced rear calipers on my GS350 because of frozen caliper pins and my car stopped pretty well, but wore out front pads much quicker as they were doing much of the work. The brake system on the GS is not overly complicated, but it needs to be maintained by someone that understands how to manage the computer control system.

ok if you have ruled out calipers (which was the fault with mine) then it could be that the ABS module as air in it this can happen if the fluid is emptied through leak or bad bleeding practice.
The procedure is to activate the ABS whilst bleeding with the Techstream only way to get air out of ABS Module

DOT 3 or higher. Doesn't have to be Toyota fluid. You're better off buying new or already remanned calipers

I am thinking that he means getting a set of rebuilt calipers. That is what I did when my caliper pins on my rear brakes froze up.
