What are the symptoms of a damaged brake pump?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Pump

In this video, we can see what are the symptoms of a damaged brake pump: the most common is when we press the pedal, it goes all the way down and we feel that the car is not braking, a sign that the pump is not maintaining pressure. Another symptom is when we press the pedal and it does not return on its own or does so very slowly. If we see the pedal wet, this is a sign that the pump is leaking fluid; in fact, it contains seals that can become damaged and worn out with use. To avoid confusing the pump failure with others, we should isolate it in its operation, using specific devices that are illustrated in the video and that stop the flow in the pipes; if we see that the pedal is jerky, we will know that the pump is losing its functionality. Otherwise, the problem could lie in the caliper or in the cylinder.
