I had the same problem.
My device is Cisco ASA 5520 with AIP SSM-10.
I can use ASDM to manage ASA 5520 but cannot login to IPS (in IPS or Intrusion Prevension tab). It show me the error "Error connecting sensor. Error loading sensor".
I try to reset, reload and unplug/plug the module but it don't work.
This my ASA configuration:
