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  Thumbs Up!
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  Thumbs Up!
