This is just my 2¢, I believe that someone will know that I do not have a © nor have I ® these characters in any way.

By holding the ALT key and typing 0176 you get the ° symbol. This is old MSDOS stuff that is still around. Also by holding ALT and typing 0162 you get the ¢ sign. If you have MS Word go to "insert" then "symbol" and you can see the short cuts for other characters. Okay I am done hijacking this thread.

Mine does that ALL the time. It sticks to one temperature for a while even though I know it's wrong and then later on in the day, it switches to what it should be.

I work in an electronics business and create electronic circuits and design circuit boards. There is absolutely no good excuse for a company such as Chevrolet to make an algorithm so convoluted. For heavens sake your reading the temperature from a sensor! Who cares what the last reading was! I only want to know what the temp is right now. What does it matter if I even drive the car? When I turn on the switch it should show the current temp.

This part of their code cant be more than 6 lines long. If it is then its highly over engineered. You don't really need to measure the temp that often anyway.

Can you tell mine doesn't work correctly either??? Started out at 32° and stayed there all day long even though it was really 70°. And yes I drove it, 25 miles on the interstate at 70mph, stopped and started at least 8 times that day.

Stupid is as stupid does!
