y axis length error

The y axis length error is popping up when i try to calibrate the printer. i reassembled the whole y axis and changed the belt. i don’t see anything hitting the bed as it’s calibrating. i have attached a video that shows the issue. it seems like the motor is still moving even though the bed is at the end of the rods. thank you in advance !

With the power off, move the axis by hand; is it smooth? Does the resistance stay the same over the whole range?

Clean and lubricate the smooth rods, check they are not damaged/scratched. Check the idler pulley is not clogged, out of line, or damaged (loosen the belt and try turning it with your fingertip, is it smooth?)

With the belt loose try turning the stepper motor by hand; is it smooth?

Cheerio,
