I wouldn't automatically assume that the sensors are bad.

If the previous owner ran the pads too low and made any metal filings
SOME would by nature stick to the sensor (it's magnetic) and if the gap
is bridged by filings you'll get a warning lamp.

OR the sensor in the rear axle can also be fouled by metal chips.

So before you go and diagnose by knee-jerk and replace a pair of $90 sensors...

the sensor is located in the center of the rear axle on the top. it is the only thing with wires going to it on the axle.
