Dragging Rear Brake & Traction Control

Dragging Rear Brake & Traction Control
On to a new issue.
We were in the process of finally trying to get the Rover registered in Oregon, and had a dragging brake issue in the rear. My wife drove the Rover for a few miles to make sure the temp stayed in range, and it did (good thing). She noticed the brakes were dragging in the rear, and seemed like the passenger side. As soon as she pulled in the driveway we had the three amigos come on.
The next week I replaced the rear rotors since they were toast, and the rear pads since there wasn't anything left on them. I also pulled the ABS sensors out, cleaned them off, and put them back in. Today we attempted to take it for another short drive, and couldn't get over 5 mph. When we gave it gas the TC light came on, and we couldn't go anywhere. I'll also add that when we started the Rover tonight the 3 amigos were gone, and I had no stored codes either. The brake fluid level is good, but I'm thinking I did something when I removed the rear ABS sensors. Any help would be greatly appreciated as we're trying to get this thing to the DMV this week!
Thanks,
Mike

I did a bit more looking at calipers, and compressing the pistons. From what I'm seeing, the pistons should be moving quite a bit easier than how mine are moving. Like I said, I'm not surprised by this since this sat for almost 2 years in the Midwest before being shipped to us in the PNW where it's sat for an additional 8 months. I'm going to poke around at them tonight, and compare them the front or even our 4runner for comparison. I may just go ahead and order new caliper since they're on sale from Rovers North for a great price.
