Could be - try unplugging one at a time and shorting out pins in socket to check sensors.

No pad sensors on the rear, just two on the front of yours Ray.

more than likely a duff or broken sensor  :y
do as suggested and unplug each sensor in turn and short out the pins you will then know whether it is just one sensor or both  :y
