Default Front disc brake vibration and ABS light issue on 1996 ES300

Can anyone help me out. Over the past 3 weeks I have started to get an increasingly larger front end vibration when I apply my brakes. I am thinking about just replacing the rotors. The "ABS' light on my dash has popped on for several hours at a time and then goes off on its own. Would the ABS light have any connection to the vibration I am getting? Any info would be a HUGE help!
:-)

Have you had the brake fluid changed lately?

Might want to consider a Lexus or Toyota dealer and have the service tool attached to check out your ABS system. Then you have an idea of what the problem may be. The parts are too expensive to guess.

If your rotors are still pretty thick, you might want to have them turned and be sure to replace the pads also.

I had the same thing awhile ago. Have the rotors cut if it's still possible, otherwise slap on new rotors & pads. I chose to replace the rotor & pads on mines.
