-37 degree C means your OBC means that thing is DEAD. Probably the sensor or the connectors to the sensor corroded.

Maybe, but not if it is, in fact -40 C. Mine is bang on all the time. I was just wondering whether thats the lower limit.

-40? Man, we have sunshine and still + here in Tokyo.
See under
On-Board Computer IV/III Training Reference Book (1.6 MB)
on my old website, which will be closed down soon

Maybe then the indication will not go down further and the OBC is still o.k.
When I disconnect the cable from the sensor, it shows -37 or -37.5 degree C.
Conclusion: that OBC not suitable for your climate.
Donate it to me

-40? Where are you now? Sure, it's snowing like heck today, but even yesterday with the wind it's only -20ish.

This was last January near Thunder Bay. We've seen -20 to -25 ambient, but no -40................yet
