Some early 79-80 280zx's and the Canada 280zx's have a battery water gauge. Once you replace the battery, it will trip that sensor since no modern batteries have that spot for the sensor. I would assume you could just disconnect it since it's grounding out... but I've never seen that sensor (you could look it up in the FSM).
