it could be a wiring problem, have a look at the wires incase the protective plastic casing has worn off and exposing the wire, or could be a duff sensor.

Follow the wire from the sensor back until you come across an electrical connector. (On the facelift it's under bumper in front of passenger side wheel).

Water can sometime get in here and corrode the pins.  If so, just snip the wire and join them directly.
