My 2005 Toyota sequoia has a grinding noise in the rear driver side. I looked at the rotor is worn out. Could it be the caliper that is malfunction?

It could be the caliper, it could be you let the brake pads wear to the metal and THAT tore up the rotor. Either way get this to a repair shop immediately!
