So what is the procedure for T/L stuck or sensor error on landing?

I'm not a pilot,

So, you get Retard, Retard, - "oops did we miss a trick?" (thats 3 seconds).
No, the T/L is ok, it must be a sensor error, so you move it out and back in case it is intermittent, still "stuck" (either physically or logically) , now what?
There must be a procedure for something as simple as a T/L sensor failure, after all a failure of either one of them screws the spoiler deployment.
Surely it has to be
"Retard, Retard -"oops did we miss a trick?" , No , Go Around.
I still find it worrying that there is no way to manually deploy the spoilers in this case, even with the time that a Go Around gives you. Someone mentioned cutting the fuel off an engine - that fixes the thrust problem but it does not allow spoiler deployment. Can you flag an engine as InOp as you land and will it then be excluded from the spoiler deployment logic?

So Airbus, what is the procedure for a T/L sensor error?
