Brake Job

[Kawduchog]

Just toolin around in the garage and wondered if it was neccessary to reset the abs system after changing out the rotors and brake pads?
Just want to make sure I do it right!!!! Can't emphasize the right thing enough !!!! Any comments would be great. Additional info: BRakes are original, and so are the rotors. 100,000 miles on these mama's. Also, the brake light comes on when cold and shuts off when warm, just figured it was because it is a little low (fluid level) and cold so float triggers low until it heats up a bit ? Sound about right? Not a wizard mechanic but just wondering if I am in the Ball park? ALL COMMENTS APPRECIATED! Thanks!

yup, the brake light will come on if the fluid is low, or if the pads are very worn (which seems to be your problem, 100k miles...wow)

No ABS 'resetting' required, although when you have the rims off you might as well clean the ABS sensor plate. Its on the axle, and just looks like a 4" diameter circle with notches in it. Those notches let the ABS sensor know how fast the wheel is turning, and if theres gunk in them the abs gets confused.
