Something is not right.  Make sure you connected the sensor return line to the OAT bias line instead of ground like the other air temp sensors.   OAT is different because I wanted it to be able to read down to at least -40 degrees F.  It is not calibrated in C although it should be possible to do that if you wanted. 
 
After double checking all wire connections to it, let me know what you see.  The unit is tested with a bench reference sensor on the OAT function so I'm fairly certain that the unit is working but it is remotely possible that the sensor is bad.

Hi Tracy, I connected OAT sensor today, but the display shows single digit
number 5-6. When I blew some hot air with the hair dryer on the sensor, the
numbers climbed to 11 and than settled to 5 after removing the heat? I
wander if the reading is in Celsius?
