Outside temp sensor bad

Outside temp sensor bad
Tonight I changed the driver side wheel speed sensor.
When I hook the batter back up, the OBC outside temp reads 6 degrees. It is about 50 degrees.
I thought I had switched from F to C, but that is not the issue.
I will get a new temp sensor but is there any downside to driving with the bad outside temp sensor?
I am guessing that hooking the batter back up must have made the sensor fail.
Any other ideas?
Thanks

Could be but the sensor is on the pass side and I was working on the driver side.
Also, I still have readout of 6 degrees, if it was disconnected I don't think I could get a read out.
Anyone have any info on impact the temp sensor has on operation?
Will I run rich by the ECU thinking it is colder outside than it is?
Is the O2 sensor the only measure which impacts fuel delivery, beyond mapping?
Thanks

Still don't know why it did not work correctly but I will leave it alone now that the reset resolved it.
