Installed DC sports ceramic headers, new brakes on all 4 with legend calipers and SS brake lines, and tokico HP struts.

The check engine light, VSA, and exclamation lights are on and won't go off. I've reset the ECU with fuse 13. I'm getting the code read tomorrow, but anyone have this issue before? There's also some resonance/buzzing at certain RPMs. OEM replacement gaskets were used.

I'm also getting some whining/metal squeak noise from the front passenger wheels. It is dependent on the car speed. Sounds like the brakes are rubbing, but they don't seem to be actually rubbing. I used autozone's CMAX gold pads.

 

Well you did a lot of stuff all over the car, but the brakes are probably the cause of the squeak.

Code could be anything. Maybe forgot to replace 02 or something?

 

check engine could be emissions, vsa could be a number of things, i'm pretty sure if it was a problem with the brakes you would get an ABS/BRAKE light


the metal squeak could be something that you left loose during the install.



but you need the codes, than you can start figuring it out without the codes its like throwing darts at board and hoping you hit the right answer

 

I got the codes read PO135 and PO141

 

both are o2 sensor codes...google works...check your o2 sensor, or put it o2 sensor back on, or get a dumby sensor

 

codes may be false too--system gets confused

for the brakes, did you do the correct order on the bleed/flush?
LF RF RR LR,,then go do 2 ABS stops from 45 mph
if the pedal felt firmer on 2nd time- there was hidden air in the abs
Now its made its way to a caliper,,rebleed all and then good to go
Normally you dont want to do abs stops on new brake parts- but if you feel any weakness to the pedal,,must operate abs to get the air out to where the drain is

you cleaned and lubed the slider plates and pad tab ends?
rear pads were ckd for correct fit -only 2 pins- not a 3rd in top center
many places sell an rl pad as tl but thats the differance and it messes up our brakes~

 

over tightening caliper bolts can make them hang up too

you did install the legends so the one marked L went on passenger side--correct?

 

looks like the o2 sensors were loose and the wires got damaged somehow. i'll have to fix those. the lose o2 sensors explain why the exhaust was so loud. i thought it was more flow from the headers, not a leak...once the exhaust quiets down i'll be able to hear the brake noise easier. they're installed correctly. i will check the torque and pads

 

Was the pad spring (#14 on the link below) removed before the calipers were installed?

problems solved guys. i replaced the o2 sensors and retorqued everything in the exhaust and brakes. a caliper bracket bolt was a tad lose and the pad retainer clip needed some repositioning.
