Q: Lights come on but don't stay on while driving. They are the ABS, anti-skid, ESP/BAS lights
The lights came on but went off in less than a minute. But when I parked and went by the rear tire, there was a lot of heat coming from it and a slight smell. Will the ABS braking system malfunction and cause the calipers to engage slightly? There was no noise that was made when this went on.

Piston rings
