yes, it could be for many reasons. Bad sensor, cut/burnt/disconnected wire, fuse, or even a low battery charge.

Does it come on after you've been driving or does it come on when you start the car up? If its the first one, then I'd say you have two different size front and back wheels.

I had two different size wheels and it wouldn't come on until I hit 53mph.

Probably a bad or unplugged sensor. I'm not sure if it will have a code or not.
