That or you have wiring issues on the temp harness which would be weird for that to mess up at the exact time the other was happening.
Agree on the person that borrowed it ran over something and damaged the temp sensor. I was under the impression that it suddenly went -40 after the cranking issue is why I mentioned disconnecting the battery.

Definitely the sensor and or wiring since it happened separately.
