Outdoor reset sensor

Good Afternoon,
I have a Buderus furnace with the 2107 controller installed and outdoor reset.
A couple weeks back it got a bit cold in the house and checked the reading of the outside air as seen by the outdoor reset sensor and read 84F when it was in the low 30's.
The controller saw that as Spring time and the warm weather shutdown went into effect.
I switched the controller from auto to winter to get heat back and now need to figure out why the bogus sensor reading.
Thinking the first place might be to verify connections on the controller and then ring out the wires to see if something broke. If that isn't the case, is the best next step to just replace the sensor and wiring or might there be some other troubleshooting steps first?
Thank you for any and all responses.
