    i have changed 5 master cylinders on this van and the pedal goes down to the floor slowly. Would the ABS module have anything to do with it or the check valve?

If you did replace the master cylinder you need to purge the air before installing it !

Pump the pedal about 10 times and see if it comes back up, u need to pump the caliper pistons out after a brake job.

There may be air in the lines. Bleed all your brakes starting at the farthest wheel from the resevoir, and finishing at the closest one. Try the pedal after its bled. If the pedal still feels soft or travels to the floor there may be a pinhole leak that may be spraying on the underbody of the car, or the seals in the master cylinder are gone filling the vacuum booster(if equipped). Air compresses more than oil so if bleeding works that may be the problem.
