This issue is commonly seen on second generation Ford C-Max models fitted with the ATE MK100 control unit. These symptoms are frequently misdiagnosed as a seized calliper. However, brake sticking on the Ford C-Max is often caused by an internal fault in the ABS unit preventing hydraulic pressure from being released correctly.

Why are my Ford C-Max brakes sticking?
The MK100 ABS unit control how brake pressure is applied, held, and released at each wheel through its electronic control module, hydraulic block, and pump motor. 

If the ABS unit no longer release pressure correctly, it cause the calliper to remain applied at one wheel after the brake pedal is released. This condition typically progress over time, and on affected vehicles such as the Ford C-Max, brake sticking problems may occur immediately after braking.

Will the issue return after a replacement?
With Ford C-Max ABS problems, replacing the control unit is often advised. While a replacement can temporarily restore braking function, it is built to the original design specification and is only supplied with limited warranty cover, despite the risk that it will fail again in the future.

As the ABS pump and electronic control module are supplied as a single, integrated unit, individual internal components cannot be replaced separately. As a result, replacing the complete Ford C-Max ABS assembly to resolve brake sticking problems can be expensive.
