You can read sensors with HWMonitor.
However trackpad failure can affects the results; need to replace for test.

Thank you for the reply. The screenshot of HWMonitor is attached. There are problems with palmrest and airport(?) sensors. However since I don't have spare trackpad, I can only try to pull out ?plug in the flex cablegram the trackpad again. It seems there are no more options. Is that so?
Is sensor attached on the trackpad or on the cable. Trackpad works without any problems.

Palm rest temp sensor is on the trackpad board.
Fan goes to full spin, if SMC cannot talk with that sensor.
You cannot test disconnecting trackpad cable.

Hello 2informaticos and thank you for your explanations. I am a bit confused, because there are some other other sensors showing high temperatures such as airport and memory modules, which should not be connected and have something in common.
Anyway, I have explained to the customer that laptop is in good working condition now, very responsive and fast. He's happy to have access to his data again and can use the laptop again. He'll take his laptop on Monday.
As far as I'm concerned, I'll need to dig a bit further to understand what else I need to order if he decide to solve these issues later.
So far, it is certain that a new trackpad with flex cable needs to be ordered. Should I also order I/O board with charging, headphones and USB port?
This was my first actual experience repairing MacBooks and so far, it seems a successful one. The small cables and miniature connectors are very tricky and one can easily damage something because of lack of space nearby, especially in fan area. This is much better designed at PC laptops (at least from repairman's point of view).

More sensors are connected on the same bus.
If one fails, SMC gets confused and reports various erroneous values.
