Hello,

There are few reasons to have soft pedal or pedal that goes to the floor. Of course, the most common reason is having air in the brake line. It can also be due to a leak.
Keep in mind that ABS brakes have different bleeding procedure and will require special tool to perform the task properly.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
