and once your brakes get hot enough to smoke, it is recommended you change your fluid - so I have been told.
After it gets so hot, it loses some of it's effectiveness

yeah ive been told that too...its causes thermal breakdown of the fluid or something..but anyways, i changed my caliper yesterday and its pretty good so far. my abs light hasnt come on yet so we'll see. i just thought it was weird that my caliper only got hot when the abs light came on.
thanks for the replies everybody.

update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well i changed my caliper a couple days ago, and my abs light stayed off until yesturday .. is their a way to scan my abs codes like you can do the check engine light because the closest abs scanner is about 3 hours away.
