Try unplugging the sensor and see if it still flashes!
Maybe a knackered sensor, be careful though as it may be on for a reason

Ok. did you take off the sensor and not the battery cable.?
Check your earth straps give them a good clean.
If its not overheating i would say the only thing it could be is a faulty dash..

Take the plug off the sensor, and check its making contact with the two metal contacts. They can get bent out of shape quite easily. Bit of screw driver action might sort it
