Angry Strange noise from front end

My 2012 is making a grinding noise and it acts like the front brake is dragging when it does it. It has happened three time always at low speeds. I have a bad ABS sensor on the right front and will replace when it comes in. The codes I get are TCM D10A No Can message from control unit, DTC U140A00 implausible RT Front wheel speed and ME9.7 wheel signal implausible RT front 5115,5116. I cleared the code yesterday and took it for a spin and no codes came back. I get in it today and the ABS and Stability control light or on. Backed out of the driveway and got the grinding sound and feeling on front brake dragging. This sounds like it might get expensive, any ideas?

Is the grinding noise the sound that the ABS makes when it activates? Seems like the first step is to fix what you know is bad and then go from there.

Now just one GL450 with EORP.
Replace your front wheel speed sensors now.

they are triggering the abs fault you’re seeing and feeling.

Thank you both, the sensor just came in and I will replace it in the morning. I was having nightmares about the differential or trans. I will let you know.

Success so far. Changed it out and no lights in a 30 mile test drive. It would have been a piece of cake if would have thought to put the plug in in a better place.
