I saw this in a worn out 12A . Someone else -- maybe Ed Anderson -- reported
lots of carbon build up on the rear rotor.  The consensus was that the rear
rotor and housing runs hotter than the front because it gets the coolant
last. The rear rotor housing is probably the place for the knock sensor and
thermocouples.
