That can't happen. When the sensor contacts the disk, it wears through a thin wire and breaks the contact, opening the circuit. That contact can't come back when debris moves.

Intermittent warnings usually have to do with a poor connection in the harness, at the other end to the sensor. If it comes back, just unplug them and plug them back in.
