Even though voretaq7's answer is correct, I just want to add, that there is also thea chance that the sensor is broken.

You should know that the sensor is made of a ceramic plate - that plate has to be heated in order to get a readout, and thanthen it is cooled down again. Also it has to be calibrated before using, to get an absolute measurement instead of ana relative measurement.

Have you ever left the sensor in a very cold/wet or very hot place? Or did you leave it in the aircraft on the ground during a sunny day? The ceramic plate can easily be damaged by exposing it to the conditions mentioned above. You might want to test it in another plane and if it still shows the same output, the chances are high that the sensor is broken.
