However before the rat chewing incident occured I noticed that early morning when I entered the car the brakes were very hard and they released as soon as i drove the car for few seconds.
Also after starting the car when I used to put it in 1st gear to lift it the first movement was as if it is going over a small rumble strip/speed breaker.
Since it was rainy season and the car was not used much maybe once in 2 days I thought it must be a normal process as my bro also owns a dezire diesel and he too said that the brake stiffness happens in rainy season sometimes
After I got my wires repaired ther was no issue but the brake pattern was still eminnet. However the brakes became normal as soon as i drove the car for say 5-10 secs
Today I started my car after 2 days to go for work and experienced the same phenomena, brakes hard, on lifting a small grind like sound as if car is going ona rumble strip and then all okay.
after I finished my work and enterd my car to return home, the ABS indicator did not go off. The car is running absolutely fine no issues.
My queries
1>I called the TASS guy and he told me that error can only be checked after attaching to a laptop. He does not have time till tuesday so he called me on tuesday
2>I have to go for some work tomorrow maximum say 20-40 kms to and fro. Can I drive my car
3>I use parking brake a lot in traffic especially when it is on slopes . Can something be related to this use
4>One more thing. I do not feel the TASS guy at my service center is especially pleased to see me. I have no issues with him but today when i called him he said come on tuesday. When I asked him can i drive the car he said why do not you get it checked from other TASS service station . Now if only a laptop can tell the reason why cant he do it himself. Also he told me to visit some other guys when i vist his TASS
5>More importantly as i read in the tata service manual, they said that the probable cause could be no supply to abd unit and then some other major causes. Coud it be possible that the TASS guys who repaired my wiring may have missed the abs connection
5>In case the ABS unit turns faulty or sensor is bust, is it covered under warranty and what expenses i am looking at
Please advice GURUS . It will be of great help
I have TATA SAFARI GX 2010 model and it has just completed 1 year on august 16. I hav extended warranty on it

Updating on this. Just visited the TASS.
The error on the computer showed up like this
"rear wheel sensor open/short"
During my last service [3rd free] they had rotated my wheels.I am a novice. so just asking if wheel rotation can cause some problems
Secondly I am not sure what the issue maybe as they said they can only tell after opening the wheels.
I will update once I get the car back. Experts any suggestions
Also would like to specifically know about the issue I had said
If the car is not used in rainy season for 1-2 days [Tata safari], is it normal for the brakes to be hard . The brakes become normal once the car is idling.
Also as I mentioned I used to get a small jerk when this happened only when lifting the car on first run just as if its going over a small rod or chain.
I asked this to the TASS guy and he said its norma in rainy season as the brakes may develop moisture if car is parked or not used for some time
Please suggest
