Overhead console temp question

Mine read 131 degrees earlier, and now all it says is SC.

Anyone know? I tried searching.

IIRC, that means the connection is open. The sender is dead-center behind the front bumper, and may be disconnected. I'll look around for my FSM and see if I can get a correct answer.

Thanks, I do appreciate you checking greatly!

Sorry it took so long to find the CD...jrock is correct that OC would mean an open circuit.

If any portion of the temperature sensor circuit
fails, the thermometer display will self-diagnose the
circuit. An “SC” (short circuit) will appear on the display
module in place of the temperature when the
sensor is exposed to temperatures above 55°C
(131°F), or if the sensor circuit is shorted. An “OC”
(open circuit) will appear in place of the temperature
when the sensor is exposed too temperatures below
-40°C (-40°F), or if the sensor circuit is open.
Does it still show that message, or is it back to normal operation? It's not uncommon to have that climb if you are stuck in traffic or on a trail. Had mine show 128* on a 70* trail one day...just sitting there with no air moving behind the bumper to cool the sensor back to ambient.

Still reads SC.

haven't really had time to look behind the bumper yet. Suppose I should do that.
