OBC outside temp question

I have an 04 R50 with the OBC. The outside temp has worked fine without fail. Today, I replaced the steering wheel which has the multi-function controls and had the battery disconnected for about 20 minutes. When I hooked it back up, the temp read -37. Does it just take a while for it to reset itself or is there something I need to do.

Thanks

Al

Yes it takes a little for it to adjust to the proper temp. They do that on purpose so the temp doesn't jump up and down real fast if you drive over a cold river or something.

Thanks. Kind of what I thought. But being somewhat old and impatient I figured I'd ask.
