Exclamation Chevrolet Venture 99 reads OC Temperature

On the overhead panel with the option compass/temperature reads OC instead air temperature, what could be the problem. I just verified plugs and wire connections and everything looks to be in good condition. Thanks for your help.

Hi Cheffo59,

OC = Open Circuit.

It means you have an open circuit or bad connection between the display and the temperature sensor OR the sensor has gone bad.

You might want to get a ohm meter and check the sensor. Its just a "thermistor" or resistor that varies with temperature.

Installing one of these things was a project of mine. You can read about it at the link below.

Take Care,

Thanks, I just change the Ambient Sensor and everything starts working very well.
