Hi all,
I have a one fast question.
It is normal that after stopping and releasing a break pedal the civic ix holding brake by next 1-2 seconds?
It means, that for example i stopping on traffic light and brake pedal is pushed hard. When green signal come i release the brake but rear pads are release after a while.

Regards, Jakub

Not normal. Pads could be sticking when was the last time you changed your brakes.

But the pads working fine when i ride. That is weird for me. If i push brake pedal smoothly than when i want to ride, everything is ok. The problem is only when i push brake full and hold.
Take apart the rear brake caliper pins. Clean and regrease them. Also check the ebrake cables. If they’re frozen due to corrosion, you’ll need to try to free them or replace them

It's the hill assist. It usually only work when on hills. Something is making it think your on a hill.
It release after a few seconds after brake or as soon you step gas pedal.

So what i can check to find where the problem is?
If the release you feel after 2 seconds is sudden and 'clean', I'm going with the hill assist kicking in when it shouldn't. But if this only happens on a hill, it's perfectly normal.
I will check this. But for me that works not only on a hill.
