If he checked the sensor ,did he check the harness it plugs into for power?
I would lean towards the wire being damaged.

Few possibilities:

1. The element inside the sensor might be shorting or damaged...resulting in intermittent readings.

2. Damaged or shorting of the harness or electrical connector.
