Enter the diagnostic menus (hold the Menu and Music buttons simultaneously for 7-10 sec) then page through the EVIC screens until you get to the raw temperature display. Press the > button and you can decrease the indicated reading by increments of 5 degrees.
 
One day I found the indicated temperature reading way, way off. Up until that point I had thought it to be pretty accurate. I was planning to take the car to the dealer to find out what was wrong with the sensor. But then I found this little trick, and I got it back to reading normally all by myself. It took a couple more adjustments over the next couple of days (wife's car, which I don't drive that often), but now it's back to reading normally again.
 
Try it... you might like it.
