04 Hyundai Elantra one wheel locked up

Asked by markrlr300 Jul 23, 2018 at 04:31 PM about the 2004 Hyundai Elantra GLS Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello everyone, I have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra gls with abs brake system,
the car is in really good condition for its age, no rust under neath. The
problem is the right front passenger wheel was locked up when I went to
leave. I replaced the caliper and the flexible brake hose. I inspected all brake
lines going to abs and then to master cylinder, all good. All other wheels turn
freely. Here's the kicker, I take off the master cylinder cap and can press the
caliper on the drivers side easily and fluid returns to reservoir, when I try to
compress the caliper on the passenger side, it does not move, no fluid is
going back to the master cylinder. I can only release the cylinder with the
bleeder. I apply the brake again and drivers side spins, the passenger side is
locked up. What would cause the fluid not to go back to master cylinder?
Thanks

Update, It turned out to be the proportioning valve that is part of the ABS control module. I was able to find a used one from Car Part Source for about $200.00. Talk to Natalie and she can hook you up. You get the whole abs control module, it is used. Thanks Scott for all your assistance. Mark
