Problem with overhead compas
I have a 01 blazer, its got a overhead console, It says what direction your going but no temp. All it says is oc, how do I reset this?

RE: Problem with overhead compas
There is likely a problem with the ambient outside temperature sensor which should be located on the hood latch support in the center of the radiator, accessible with the grill removed.

RE: Problem with overhead compas
Thank you, I will check that

RE: Problem with overhead compas
I looked at it, how do I test it? On the display it says oc then CAL and the direction. What does CAL mean?
|
RE: Problem with overhead compas
CAL means that the compass needs to be recalibrated.
digital compass and thermometer - runs through the compass recalibration procedure. As far as testing the ambient temperature sensor... I do not have any values for you. It should decrease in resistance as the temperature increases though. |
RE: Problem with overhead compas
thank you

RE: Problem with overhead compas
I calibrated it but it still says oc where the temp goes, Thanks for your help
|
RE: Problem with overhead compas
The calibration is only for the compass. The OC means that the there is a problem with the signal from the outside temperature sensor, as previously eluded to.
|
RE: Problem with overhead compas
Do you think it could just be the sensor?

RE: Problem with overhead compas
Very possible. If you have a junkyard close by, snag a replacement and give it a whirl.
