I took a good look at my rotors yesterday (all brakes are about a year old and have good pads and no wobble). My front right rotor now has two deep tears on it and has started to pull on occasion.

Could a siezing caliper account for abs and traction control issues. I would think so but I am trying to think of the best way to tackle this. The car is my daily drive. Tonight I am going to pull the caliper and try some grease. I have the service manuals, any advice?
This needs to be scanned on an abs capable scanner for the code and you will be able to look at and compare wheel speed inputs to see if one of the wheel speed sensors is bad or the included wiring to the suspect sensor is a problem.
