dead common for rear calipers on these to seize up normally its the handbrake lever part or the sliders, as for abs sensors they are again a very common item to fail as I sell a lot of these for that reason

Why don't you get the codes read from the ABS system?
That way you don't have to replace parts that are not broken.

If you move the car with one wheel not turning it will trigger the fault. It should reset after so many cycles if the fault no longer exists or it can be reset.

if there is a fault it needs fixing first.
