no, you'll still get a cel.
you could if your sensor is good, take it out of the block and ground it somewhere else ; leave it plugged in.

Re: (lsvtec101)
No, the wire that comes out of the sensor goes to the ECU. The sensor is probably bad if you are getting a code. You probably need to check the continuity of the wire to make sure the signal is getting back to the ECU. Again, the sensor is grounded through the block, meaning there is no extra grounding necessary.
As mmuller pointed out, you can pull the sensor and ground it somewhere else. I would try to resolve the problem before you use a solution like that.
