Just got done installing some rotora rotors/axxis ultimate pads both in the front and rear. Install was simple. I removed the caliper, screws with impact driver, removed rotor, reversed process. First time trying to start the car the starter would make a flat sound. Not the cranking over sound, just a flat noise. The traction control, abs light, and brake light all are on with ignition turned on also. Is there some brake sensor that could possibly get messed up when tapped hard with the impact driver? Also i noticed when taking the rear rotors off there was a rubber piece on the inside of each rotor. Do those need to be taken off the stop rotors and put on the rotoras?

I don't see how the brake job could cause the car not to start. Your not touching anything that's related. Maybe your battery is dead? On the CL all your interior lights will work fine even if your battery is dead, just won't have enough juice to start the car.

Any chance you had your radio on when you were working on your car? Battery dead?

thanks for the advice, i just went outside and tried to jump the car but that didn't work out, so i guess i am gonna have to jack up the car again and check all the brake connections, anyone else have an idea of what can go wrong during this type of install ?

There is no way a brake install can do anything that canprevent a car from starting.

so there aren't any sensors at all on the brakes that could prevent the car from starting? For some reason the traction control light, abs light, and brake light all are lit up even though the parking brake is off etc... Didnt know if that was causing the car from not starting since maybe some sensor is off....

that's what i thought also until i put the car on the ground and it wouldn't start, i tried resetting the ecu and jump starting it, the car still didn't start, i'll have check out the brakes again, any more suggestions ???

There's a speed sensor that's attached to the rear knuckle/end link bracket but I don't what the two would have in common.

Yeah ABS & the speed sensor, however you should not have taking those wires off if you were doing a brake job.

does anyone know about that rubber piece inside the stock rotors? Does that push on a sensor letting it know the rotor is in contact? Im going to go out now and take the wheels off to inspect everything. Not sure if when the rotor was pulled off if some e-brake part or sensor was somehow removed. I guess ill see once i go out and look.

also everytime i try to start the car even though it is in park and park is lit up, D5 will light up when i try starting it. What could this mean?

haha it was the battery. just tried jumping it again and it fired right up. milad said he forgot that the radio WAS on when we started working but the volume was off.

Glad you figured that one out... I remember my battery being pretty weak after I bled my Big Brake Kit... but I have a much smaller battery.

and yes the rubber stock piece you are referring to is the rubber grommet that is used for the major adjustment of the parking brake... ... just take it off the stock rotor and move it to the new rotor.
