Rear wheel sensors
I have been getting intermittent DCS errors (leaning car symbol on dash). That error comes and goes, it even comes on sometimes when the car isn't even moving 
I did a lilttle research online and heard mention of the sensors in the rear wheel area. I got under the car today to have a look and saw that the junction box on the drivers side was missing a sensor plug (see attachments). After seeing that, I went and researched a little more and it seems that those sensors are to do with the brakes as the one sensor on the passenger side is going into the caliper. Funny thing is, I'm not getting any brake related errors. What are you guys thoughts?

there is one brake pad sensor in front and one in rear. so two wheels dont have the pad sensor.
the abs sensor is on each wheel, and the pickup rings is part of the seal on the wheel hub bearing. so when a wheel hub goes bad, you get dsc error.
do you have a way to pull codes to see what was triggered?
