I chased my traction control light this afternoon. I removed the front tires, calipers, caliper mounting bracket and discs. I then removed the ABS sensor to make sure it was clean and not broken and all. I cleaned it and reinstalled it. Both fronts were fine with no issues.

The inside of my rotors were pretty horrible though, rust was flaking off in chunks. The outside looks fine other than a slight wear grove, but the inside had really uneven wear due to the rust creeping into the brake surface. Needless to say, I'm researching some new rotors now.



Traction control light is still on so I have to do some more research on specific sensors for it. Also, I need to inspect the rear ABS sensors.

Good news is that my front end is still nice and tight. No need for inner or outer tie rods. I may look in to new hubs though, they were rusted pretty bad. Seems like more than just surface rust too.

UPDATE: Ordered some Powerstop rotors and pads for the front.
