The vehicle listed above is an N17. When pressing pedal is come loose the end, you feel car no brake but in fact it brakes not move on D or R while you press brake pedal, but sometimes you feel the car take more time to stop, like no ABS. Already change master brake and brake shoes front and rear also front drum. No light or warning for ABS Is I need change the ABS.

What happens is the ABS controller traps air inside of it, so the valve inside the ABS unit must be opened while bleeding.

Here is a video and guide to help you fix the problem:
