What I think is going on is the front brakes are very close to if not metal on metal and this gives me the grinding sound then my brakes overheat causing the lights to come on. This has happened before. I'm about to go change my pads and inspect the calipers & rotors.

Did you ever figure out what was going on? Sounds like what just happened to me, instead of just buying parts I stopped by my inspection shop to have them read stuff my scanner couldn't and it was seized calipers up front and I got new rotor for the hell of it since I'm right there. I painted the calipers and they came out nice with the shiny new rotors.

Never did figure out what was going on. Calipers were fine, I cleaned all the ABS sensors. The lights turned off and never came back on.

Then that would mean that you were successful in cleaning dirty wheel sensors. Much less frustrating than having to deal with two or three troubleshooting issues before resolving! (trust me, I've been there).
