When you fully depress the brake pedal with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) engaged, you may feel a pulsating sensation in the pedal. This occurs because the ABS modulates brake pressure to prevent wheel lock-up, allowing you to maintain steering control while braking hard. Additionally, the brake pedal might feel firmer than usual, but it’s important to maintain steady pressure rather than pumping the pedal. This system enhances safety by helping you avoid skidding during emergency stops.

Pulse
When you fully depress the brake pedal of a vehicle equipped with an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), you activate the braking system, which modulates brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup. This allows for better control and stability during hard braking, as the system rapidly pulses the brakes to maintain traction. Consequently, you will feel the brake pedal vibrate or pulse beneath your foot, indicating that the ABS is actively working.
When you fully depress the brake pedal in a vehicle equipped with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), you may feel a pulsating sensation. This occurs because the ABS system rapidly modulates brake pressure to prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking. The pulsation is normal and indicates that the system is actively working to maintain traction and stability. It’s important to maintain steady pressure on the pedal rather than pumping it, as ABS is designed to handle braking effectively.
When you depress the brake pedal in a vehicle equipped with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), you may feel a pulsing sensation or a rapid vibration in the pedal. This is the ABS engaging to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking, allowing you to maintain steering control. The system automatically modulates brake pressure to maximize stopping power while maintaining traction. Overall, it helps enhance safety during emergency braking situations.
The brake pedal vibrates.
Your brakes would feel 'spongy' - in that, it takes more pressure on the pedal than usual for them to operate fully (if at all !)
I had recently a similar problem and it turned out to be the brake light switch. This mechanism controls and prevents shifting out of parking without depressing brake pedal. Please check if the brake lights go on when you depress the brake pedal, if not and the bulbs are not burnt out it is most probably this switch. The switch is located just above the brake pedal, it is tricky to get to it as you may have to feel it running along the brake pedal shaft. In order to replace you must disconnect hardware switch and carefully rotate the switch out. The part itself is bought from your local Land Rover dealer should not be more than $60 USD, conversely you could buy a replacement at Autozone or your local parts distributor. Personally I'd recommend original. To install you must depress brake pedal and turn it into place, then connect harness. Good Luck newtest3
The power brake booster is failing.
