Weird temperature readings

The temperature went from -184°C to 1379°C. Do you know what could have caused that?

Extreme temperature readings may indicate a problem with the cable. Common causes include damaged cable insulation, poor wire connections, or improperly stripped and twisted wire ends. Ensure wires are securely stripped, twisted together, and insulated to prevent high resistance. Additionally, check the connector assembly to ensure no wire strands are touching, as this can also lead to abnormal readings.
