No you cant. If you do you risk the change of getting stranded. My sister-in-law had a bad crankshaft sensor and her car died and wont start again until it cooled off. So you should replace it. the part is usely pretty cheap

Is a safe to drive a car with a bad airbag sensor?

If the sensor might allow the airbag to deploy while driving with no collision, that could be deadly. When my Dodge caravan had an air bag sensor problem, it wasn't in danger of deploying unnecessarily, but rather not deploying in a collision. However, the horn didn't work. If your airbag is not in danger of deploying unnecessarily, your car is safe to drive, just get the sensor repaired as soon as you can.
