why do my calipers seize?

[slvr92lude]

I searched this site high and low but couldnt find any posts that relate to my situation or answer my questions. My problem is that my calipers are seizing up while i drive, it doesnt happen right away i am usually driving for about 10 to 15 minutes then i start slowing down without tapping the brake and cant go faster than 20 MPH, also my ABS light is on and it turned on after the second time the calipers siezed on me. At first it was just the drivers side caliper doing it now both sides do it. I read something about a (VSS) Vehicle speed sensor, and someone suggested cleaning it off but i have no idea where that is located and why that could cause it the calipers to sieze. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this let me know.

Well The VSS will not cause that for a fact.

Well.. Check Master Cylinder. And Check the Calibers them self for build up. I am not sure what it is but thats the only think I can think of it being right now. If the ABS light is on. It is Disabled. So its not that. The ABS shuts down when ever it is abs light is on. So if its still locking up It aint ABS. Master Cylinder may be getting Jammed are Calibers May be locking up. I dont know. Also.. Did you ever change your brake fluid.

Which calipers are sticking on you? Changing your brake fluid helps to prevent your calipers from seizing. Brake fluid gets dirty over time.

It's usually either the sliding pins or the piston inside the caliper that cause the calipers to stick. The sliding pins on my rear calipers on my Prelude siezed up, and caused my rear brakes to drag, and rear brake pads to wear out unevenly.

Let us know which caliper is sticking on you. Also, check to see if your brake pedal loses pressure sometimes. If it does, it could be your brake master cylinder like Rory said or you may have some air inside your brake system.

my fault for not stating which ones earlier, but at first it was the front driver side that did it then the front passenger side started to do that same, the pedal feel is firm

try a brake fluid flush. be careful not to get brake fluid on your paint....it is extremely corrosive. if that doesnt work get some new calipers. if that doesnt work then take it to a mechanic
