I would have a go at doing that first when you check the electrical connector.
Do not at any time try and squeeze the piston back in like you would on a traditional caliper.
Good luck and welcome from me too.

Del,I checked the electrical connector to no avail ...
so I've decided to take it to a garage not too far from me that has been recommended who are able to do a proper diagnostic check.
Thank you for your advice and the welcome.
