Likely water in the connector plug right behind the sensor. Pull the plug and carefully clean it out - should fix it. BTW, can take a day or so after doing this for the sensor to correctly read.

Take care my friend

...and dealing with a leaking drain plug (because I had 2 gaskets!!). I think Jeff is right. In my case it resolved itself in about a day, but I was getting ready to take apart the harness connector, and glad I didn't have to because I found it difficult to get my hands around, being where it is.

mine must have self medicated itself today. Hope it stays that way, and I did do a wash last night!
