Default temp reading on overhead console

My overhead console temp reading shows OC....anyone have this problem and if so, how do I fix it. Cant seem to get it to reset at all. It seemed to work fine and then wouldnt register over 50 degrees and now shows nothing but OC...any help will be appreciated....just joined and seems like a great spot....

The OC means out of calibration. Could be one of three things, either the ambient temp sensor, mounted on grille is bad, broken, or the wiring is F'd up.
