Soft pedal is caused by air in the system. Bleed the brakes starting at RR, then LR, RF, and ending at LF.

if brake pedal is soft , either there is air in the system ,a brake fluid leak, or brake linings and pads are worn allowing the pedal to travel to far if there is a fluid leak, this can usually be found by getting under vehicle and looking at inside of wheels for brake fluid
Air in the system. Bleed the brake system.
It probably means that you need to visit a mechanic. Soft brake pedal feel can mean that air has gotten into the fluid lines. There could be other issues like worn-out pads or rotors.

A soft brake pedal typically indicates that there may be air in the brake lines, a fluid leak, or low brake fluid levels. It can also suggest worn brake pads or issues with the master cylinder. This condition can lead to reduced braking effectiveness, making it crucial to address the issue promptly for safety. If you experience a soft brake pedal, it's advisable to have your braking system inspected by a professional.
Wornb brake pads. You are hearing the warning device that is telling you to replace the pads.
New pads will have to be burnished to fit the irregularities of the rotor - driving approx. 200 miles should "break pads in" and pedal should improve.
A soft brake pedal after bleeding the brakes on a 1990 Ford Bronco can be caused by several issues. One possibility is that there is still air trapped in the brake lines or calipers, which can happen if the bleeding process was not thorough. Additionally, a leak in the brake system, such as in the master cylinder or brake lines, could lead to a loss of hydraulic pressure, resulting in a soft pedal. Lastly, worn brake components, like pads or calipers, may also contribute to this problem.
You need to bleed the brakes. Loosen the bleeder valve on one of the calipers and have someone press and hold the brake pedal. Tighten the valve and release the brake pedal. (If you let off of the pedal with the valve loose, air will be drawn into the system and make the problem worse.)
