Mustang General Lite Problems For Back On The Road

2001 Mustang V6 3.8 235K 

OBD (can't scan again right now), had ABS and Oxygen sensor.  Is there a chance the ABS interferes with the Oxygen? Or is it most likely really needing a replacement? 

MAF sensor should be cleaned.  I got spray. 24 year old car,  I had for 11 of those years.  MAF never been done.  

Should I clean or replace the MAF fully? What indicates the clean went good or bad? I know to only use MAF spray. And how often does one clean/maintain a MAF? 

Calipers are flaking. I can do a full brake job but I don't really know how to indicate a bad Caliper yet.  Only if it's leaking or by year and mileage have I tried to change them in the past. The brakes/rotors are fine.  I know to change them by pairs. 

Should you bleed the brakes with a Caliper change? 

Last one: (Not the most worrysome): Electronic seats are dead.  Lots of water gets in the Beverly Hillbillies ripped convertible top. I'm gonna have to replace the whole seat if it's not a fuse or one damaged wire right? Front panel by your ankles fell apart.  

Much love and goodmorning!

Abs will not make the oxygen sensor code trip, but the oxygen sensor code can make the ABS strip. I would fix the oxygen sensor problem first and realize it's not necessarily an oxygen sensor. It just reports the data. It could be something like a vacuum leak, bad fuel injector all kinds of things I would start there


@scottykilmer Thank you so much Scotty!! 💓
So hopefully from that a vacuum leak or bad fuel injector could solve the oxygen maybe? Pa always says oxygen sensors hit ya bank hard, I think he's told me they should be done in pairs. I'll get on it, have a awesome morning, Boss 🌟
