Overhead console Temp readout just says OC

All of a sudden the temp just reads out as OC - it still is accurate on the direction and all the mileage read outs ETC

Does anyone know what this means?

It stands for Open Circuit. The sensor probably went bad. I am assuming you have a ZJ on this. The sensor is located behind the grill and looks like this http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...&parentId=60-0 If it isn't a ZJ I don't know where it is located but I would still look behind the grill first.

UGH same problem

I got a new Temp sensor as was suggested in my zj

Still have the same problem.

It reads the temp for about 2 seconds and then goes to OC

Wiring seems to be fine. Fuse seems fine

Any other ideas anyone?
