How would I know if a wheel speed sensor is bad?

If it was a wheel speed sensor. You would have a CEL.

That's not always the case. I have fixed several cars that had no CEL. It was caused by a wheel speed sensor that was reading low.

That is because the resistance was off which is what happens most of the time. I have had a couple I had to put diagnostics on and drive around watching the wheel speed sensors. The other thing I have found is someone who swapped an axle and forgot to transfer the reluctor wheel on the new axle.

Ditto. It's like a half-a** failure. It's strange

Hi Guy's; I have a 2016 basic Z. 9,000 miles. For some reason the front inside pads are wearing out. I replaced the front pads 4,000 miles ago. Now 5,000 miles later I see the inside pads need replacing again. This will be the 3rd time at only 9,000 miles. The dealer is a hundred miles away plus I don't care for them. I have always done my own brake work. It is a 2nd car for me to keep my Mustang out of the rain. Car has never been driven hard. I'm 66 yr's old. Ha
