I think the sensor works when two open wires embedded in plastic get shorted by the rotor when the pad's thickness goes down. The sensor could have possibly worn out an insulation or water in the connector could do it too (but I don't know how water could get to it).

Pad warning message will only come on from
Worn Pad sensor =Broken Contact
Pad sensor Unplugged OR Worn/Broken Wire to Pad sensor from a object caught in the wheel area that ripped the sensor/harness...Seen that a few times
Also Check the Brake Fluid level ....
