Thanks in advance,

The risk for damage to the sensor is high. The Cernox sensor is rated as a Human Body Model 2 which means it can be damaged by a discharge of 2000V to 4000V. There is no guaranteed way to protect the sensor, however, we have found that if you disconnect the 4-leads that connect to the sensor and tie them together without connecting them to ground, the sensor may survive.
As stated above, this is not a guarantee that the sensor will survive, The only guaranteed way is to physically remove the sensor until all welding is complete.
