If they were down to 1mm or so, the sensor has worn through. Was it a change brake pads message that prompted you to replace in the first place? If so, you need to replace sensors on that axle. Inspect your brakes all four, and see if any of the sensors are contacting, disconnected, or have damaged wiring due to road debris/chains, or improper routing.
