Help!! obc on bmw e36

[D4LJE]

i took my obc out as i needed one off the wires to go to my navigation unit, I put the wires back on cliping them both in, now when i press the temp button i get -36c how do i get it to show the right temperature, can i reset it????

i believe theres a button to switch back from F to Celcius..if thats what your wondering? at least i have that on mine.

i think the problem is that the temp is just way off, lol. thats -36 C, which = -32.8 F i think, lol. i've never taken mine out tho, so i'm not sure how to reset it, but i know you have to code your instrument cluster before everything on it functions properly, so maybe you just need to code it.

sorry i can't be more help, maybe someone else knows the exact steps.

code your instrument cluster?

I removed and replaced my entire 6 button-OBC when i first got my bmw.
Chances are more likey the obc is working but the temp wiring or your temp sensor is shot.

unless he meant it reads 36C and not -36C which then could be a misunderstanding of the C and the F.

true, thats a good point. did it work fine until you messed with it? then it started acting up? if it started right after that then it may just be that whatever wire you attached to it is interferring and cauing false readings.

Thanx for all your help but is sorted it self out, the temp reading kept going down, and now its showing the right reading.
