In this case it sounds like it might be just a bad connection. Check the connectors to the sensors to see if one has worked loose or fallen off. Could also be a defective sensor, which you can determine by checking for continuity through the sensor with your multimeter. Also check and see if the section of wire between the sensors has been pinched or broken.
Thickness of the pads have nothing to do with it in this case. It's the rotors being so worn they cut through the wire.
