No I don't remember the rears having sensors. On the fronts there is a wear indicator which basically is a wire which runs through the pad. When this is broken it throws the warning light.
This normally comes on when the pads still have a good few months life. They are real easy to change and relatively cheap from GSF etc. but no real panic if they aren't well down.
Often its the inside edge pad which goes first even when the outers look v.good still
