Is it possible that this is due to a bad sensor type configuration ?

Thermal diodes have a "current mode" and a "voltage mode", and if misconfigured (or miswired) the reported temperature difference is just about in that range. Difference in wiring, if I understand it correctly, is that the + pin is pulled high with a resistor in voltage mode, which is not the case in current mode.

Problem with the wrong reading is that it affects the sensor's dynamic range. You don't have much dynamic range left if the reading is off by 100 degrees.

Thanks,
Guenter
