I'll have to ask the mechanic that replaced the brake pads front and rear. Most
good kits have the new sensors. It's an electrical glitch of some sort. In my
experience it's a loose ground that causes gremlins. But where is that ground?

What did the sensor look like when you replaced the pads? The first time I did front pads on mine I reused the sensors because they hadn't been eaten up, but I wouldn't do that again. They would come on every time it rained. Sensors are cheap enough so I would just swap them out every time. Maybe you have something that is a semiconductor across the sensors on the pads. I don't know if grease or brake pad anti-sqeal goo would do that or not. Or maybe something got into the plug socket where the sensor plugs into the circuit. Or maybe like Rob said it is the brake fluid level sensor.
