OK this morning on my way home from work I got in my truck and it was just reading "OC" and I cant seem to find what that means I knowif it is cold out it will say "ICE" for a few mins but what is "OC".

I think that it has to do with it can not read any colder then -40°C since as i was driving it would show -40°C on and off but most of the time just "OC".

Anyone know about this?

Here are some pics sorry they are not too good I was using my cell phone well driving to take them.

No shite, Its -45c here right now.:mad:

Its a error code on the temp sesnor. Mine did the same till I replaced the sensor. Might not be your problem, but it might be.

I'd be reading "-FU!" That's way too damn cold! How's the fuel holding up? Filters icing at all?

OC stands for open circuit.

So far so good but a few of the pumps at husky's where I tried to full up so I could add more additives had 3 pumps that were gelling so I was not about to use the 1 that was still working and get all gelling fuel.
