Huh?
That would be a neat trick to unplug your sensors while driving

Every once in a while you can get a glitch like this. If this occurs right after hitting a pot hole, or a hard bump. simply pull to the side of the road. turn the ignition off, then restart the car. The warning should go away if it was a ghost... ( not a real fault, but a glitch. )
