Another potential area to consider investigating would be the new sensor may have an issue with not collecting the full cycle of magnetic elements from the new bearing because the gap of the new sensor may be too large, and not collecting the pulses correctly, this could be considered as "The Air Gap"
This happened to me on a few occasions following replacement sensors in the front end, a simple process after extracting the sensors, file down the metal shoulder by a small fraction and ensure the hub where it enters is clean and corrosion free so the sensor sits correctly where it should be. Following this but observing only a fraction to be filed away has fixed the issues. Aftermarket ones work as good as genuine ones as long as the air gap is right.
