Seftest: Y axis error

Hi, after printing a lot of things with the R3 extruder very successfully, today I started the selftest and it stops with an error: Y axis length. There is nothing cable issues or something other obstacles blocking. The Y axis moves smooth over the full length. I test it first manually with power off and then from the settings menu "Move XYZ Axis". No special noises or so. Then I reset the XYZ calibration. I got the same error with the selftest. And XYZ calibration fails with error "XYZ calibration failed. Bed calibration point was not found."

I pulled the y-motor plug from the board and all pins looks good. After reassemble I get still the selftest error: Y axis length.

I attached a video.

Any hints?

I'm so sorry, but the source of the error was a small neodymium magnet sticking to one of the bearings. I have the printer turned a few times, but I could not see it.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
