Thats what it means, but when you clear it you may not get it again for along time. Also if your rr is 1997 or later as they are not handed, you can swap the right to left and vice versa. This gives you in affect a new sensor as they are on unused tracks in the sensor. However be VERY careful when removing them as the bolts are probably rusted into the lugs of the sensor. Better to cut the bolts and gently tap out the bolts while the lug is supported on a vice or suitable setup. If the lugs do break off you can glue the sensor in place on the body. Worked for me for the last 2 months.

They always say that the vehicle has moved - ignore it.
As for your sensor it could be lots of things just caused a one-of fault. I'd ignore that as well until it starts happening regularly.
Maybe put a pair of rear height sensors on the bottom of your to-do list.

The older one has wires coming off it to plug into the loom, while the later one has the plug on the body of the sensor. But as the lads say wait until it gives regular trouble before possibly causing trouble

Take the plug out of the sensor and clean the pins. See what you get.
