Most cars, including yours, use two separate sensors. One is for the computer and the other is for the gauge. The one for the gauge has gone bad obviously but your car will still know the coolant temp and be able to turn the fans on and off. You should replace it as soon as you can though because you could spring a leak and overheat the car (it can only cool itself so much)
