the grinding nose you heard was something rubbing on the rotor, bad brakes, caliper, after market wheels, etc. the pressure of a turn bends something enough to touch, this is produceing metal flake that attached to the magnetic sensor on the abs sending a light on because it couldn't read the tire position as it turned, it may have got blown off, washed off, but when it can read the tire again the light will go off, i would look into the grinding noise on cornering thats the cause of the problem. hope this helps

Yes sometimes diagnosis takes a while. They are most likely perfomring electrical tests o nthe rear axle coupler to see why its functioning incorrect. If I knoew the codes its storing I could help you

You likely have a cracked ABS tone ring. I had no idea what that meant when I was researching my girlfriends vehicle (2006 Escape hybrid) but sure enough that it what it was. She was getting the Service 4X4, Service Braking System, and the ABS light was on in the car. The tone ring is a gear that fits on the end of your CV shaft and can be found right behind your tire (if you search this problem on google you should find some pictures). You can see this without removing anything from the vehicle. There is a sensor that counts the gears of this ring as it goes by to determine your speed and whatnot. This information is used by the braking system and if the ring is cracked it will spin freely and the computer will not know what is going on and throw an error (or two or three). You can fix this two ways: replace CV shaft (about a $70 part) or replace the ring itself (a $12 - $15 part). Labor is what is going to get you on this. You can disconnect fuse #34 (5 amp fuse) to disable the ABS, but on my girlfriend's car this also disabled the power steering.
