Please Help! abs light on with tcs button off

the abs light & tcs button was coming on & off yesterday a few times, then 30 mins later driving i seen smoke from the front.

the front passenger brake seemed seized to me cause it was pulling to the right after i tried to drive.

i then went to a local shop not dealer so i could see what it is he said its not locked up i can turn the wheel, but the clapier,brake pad, rotor took a beating.

i asked him to scan it for codes this is what we got:

c1145 speed wheel sensor rf input circuit failure
c1155 speed wheel sensor lf input circuit failure
c1233 speed wheel lf input signal missing
c1234 speed wheel rf input signal missing

please help cause this is my work truck!

Do a brake job to the front. Grease the slide pins. Where the pads ride on the caliper hardware, sand it a bit so it is smooth (if rough).

Clear the codes and drive the truck.

Thanks for the quick reply, is it as simple as a brake job?

Cause I purchased the truck back in oct ' the brakes were good. I've only driven it about 5000 miles? Even the guy yesterday said there about 75%

It just concerned me when the smoke was coming out & it felt like it was pulling to the right?

I just drove it know drives fine but abs light & tcs button is off still, no smoke & no pulling to the right.

Is this common thing to happen? Also has anybody else received these codes all at once?

Any thoughts would be very helpful!

Thanks in advance!!!

I think it has been sitting a bit and the calipers or slide pins seized. That actually is fairly common for those that don't put alot of miles on them.

I drive the truck everyday, I can understand if its been sitting for awhile but I guess to be on the safe side I should take it in to the ford dealer to ensure its all safe.

I hope they just say what you said about just doing a brake job then replacing any big parts!

The brake did squeak when I pressed the brake even today so hopefully it's just a simple brake job.

I will inform what they found tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.
