Why does the engine temperature gauge not read the engine temperature?

What is your question?

Lately, the engine temperature gauge has not been working properly. The fans are constantly on and the check engine light is on. I went to have it tested at Advanced Auto Parts and I personally switched out the engine temperature sensor. It was working after that but no more than a day later the gauge wasn't reading the engine temperature, again. The fans are back on. What else can it be?
