I had the same problem and it was the bulb in the upper brake light in the back window.

It is probably not the sensor that is failing though. The sensor is a diode so it eats up any left over voltage in the system, so when the bulb starts failing the excess voltage triggers the warning light. Sometimes this can occur before the bulb actually goes out. So if you see the light on plan on changing it.

I had a Saab before this and it would warn you like a week before it would go out, kind of annoying but nice though cause once I figured it out I could just swing by the parts store during that week so when it did go out I was ready.
