Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

I can't guarantee similar results, but I accidentally enabled the Temperature display (in F) when I changed batteries.

I think a power disconnect will possibly default to temperature on the display.

Leading evidence: 'Replace batteries' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'simplest diy is at' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Disconnect will possibly default' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My wife and I both have 2000 996's. She got hers first. When I got mine last week I noticed that it had the outside temperature displayed on the middle dial on the dash. But neither of us have the fourth stalk indicating that we have the onboard computer. Anyone else have this temperature display? Should it be on my wife's car? If so, how do I get the display to show. And it's showing in Fahrenheit. I'm in Canada so I'd like to see it in Celsius. Any way to switch it? I did the switch for the speed from MPH to KPH. But this stayed in F.

POST 2Original post

That means your car had the OBC enabled at some point by a previous owner. Her car has not been enabled, but it can be.....these model year cars (99 to 2001-I think) have the On Board Computer (OBC), but is a matter of enabling it and doing the mod to go thru the menus.......

POST 3Original post

I found out about this a few months ago and added it to my car. Here's my post about it. You'll find lots of links to more info there. Probably the simplest DIY is at pelican .

POST 4Original post

I can't guarantee similar results, but I accidentally enabled the Temperature display (in F) when I changed batteries. I think a power disconnect will possibly default to temperature on the display. (was previously showing miles to empty). Worth a try, but make sure you have your radio code handy before trying.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
