I'm not sure that you can. Might need to be replaced.

Check the sensor for anything obvious like torn wires or that it is touching the radiator.

You can't...

there are two sensors that determine the displayed temp, one is behind the front bumper near the radiator and the second is in the outside air plenum on the right side. The first is esay to replace, the second is a bitch.
