Usually if the sensor is failing it gives inaccurate readings like 52 degrees when its brass monkeys outside.

Could be the cable is damaged, and not giving a signal.

Or simply not plugged in.

Until I discovered that it was easier to pull the sensor out of the grommet than it was to unplug the plug there were a couple of occasions after I had refitted the front bumper when I forgot to reconnect the sensor afterwards.
