yes there is sensors fitted front and rear, its a couple of wires plugged into the sensing unit itself. just look for broken wires or possible damage to the actuating leg for the sensor

The leveling arms are pretty flimsey plastic so can easily get broken. Easy to check that they are still attached though and plugged in.
