I don't think they contain any sensors. Mine are completely shrouded by my rockslider brackets and have been filled with Dinitrol without any warning lights popping up.

Mine are full of Dinitrol too.

I just assumed they were rust-traps, I couldn't see any other reason for them.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Mine doesn't have them, I only realised that some do when I stated looking into fitting rockslides.

ARB Australia says the boxes are part of the side impact protection requirements in some markets

The parts manual describes them as "Frame Re-inforcement" and they are NOT fitted to the new Commercial varient so they are possibly related to safety of the rear passengers or to remove a resonance in the frame created by the equipment/spec of the passenger varient. They are available separately as 57420-78R00 if anyone wants them.
