This is actually the same problem we encountered ourselves the other week after we fitted a new head. Fortunately there is a very simple solution.
The fault is that your bed is set too high on the manual adjustment screws, turn them all down a couple of turns and then level it.
How the bed sensing works is that the machine looks at the signal from the capacitive sensor on the head, and when the signal goes flat (stops changing) it knows it is in contact with the bed. If the bed is too high then the head is already in contact when it starts looking an it cannot detect a change.
