Over the years I have had frequent visits from the 'Three Amigos'. Usually the computer say ' 134 Shuttle Valve Electrical failure'. We have replaced the ABS Modulator (once) and the shuttle valves (twice). They are back again BUT I have noticed something odd. When I first start the car the brake pedal travels two thirds of the way to the floor - and usually I get a visit from our three friends! If before I start the car I pump the pedal, the travel is only an inch or so and usually NO AMIGOS! Before I do the 'Aussie modification' to the ABS wiring, could there be a connection between brake pedal travel and the Three Amigos?
I admit I can't be sure but I seem to think that when two or three years back I had the brake fluid changed, I had little brake travel and no amigos for ages.
Any thoughts?
 
Most likely your brake fluid needs to be replaced and bled and/or your brake hoses are soft and need to be replaced...

Also check for leaks at the wheel cylinders...

best off - do a full 3 pint, DOT 4, brake flush...
