have a look at this guys
looking at my inputs with engine cold look at the temp 255 ! now whether that is deg of fahrenheit its wrong surely, anyone else had this ? will have to look at it when warm and see what it says

Sounds like a sensor is open circuit, so probably broken wire or bad connector. BUT is the diagnostic reading the Engine Coolant or Thermostat sensors ? (X126 & X336 in RAVE)
 
255 F is 120 C

If you go to settings can you switch between metric and imperial ?

however if it is cold, then it would dictate that the temp sensor is failed?
 
i should imagine its reading engine coolant , but it must be wrong , engine stone cold , i wouldnt want to see this if it were hot
will have to have another look on the weekend when i have more time , and yes does sound like engine temp sensor has failed
