Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295


if no resolve

Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379



You can always remove your finger prints and add them back in, in an effort to correct the situation.

Add up to three fingerprints and test

Use Touch ID on your Mac - Apple Support



If you are still having further issues—Call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)
