What are the symptoms of a damaged brake pump?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Pump

Video tutorial

This video shows the symptoms of a damaged brake pump: the most common is when you press the pedal, it goes all the way down and you feel that the vehicle does not brake, indicating that the pump is not maintaining pressure. Another symptom is when you press the pedal and it does not return on its own or does so very slowly.

If you see the pedal wet, this is a sign that the pump is leaking fluid; it contains seals that can wear out and become damaged with use. To avoid confusing the pump failure with others, isolate its operation using specific devices illustrated in the video that stop the flow in the pipes; if you see the pedal jerking, you will know that the pump is losing its functionality.

Otherwise, the problem may lie in the caliper or the cylinder.
