Default OBC Displays "P"

My OBC has stopped providing any data and now has a flashing 'P' in the top left hand corner.
Does this mean it is 'Phucked'??? Any known Phix?

I too have a flashing P on my 1991 C2 and have not been able to stop this annoying letter of the alphabet.

I have the same issue in my 964 targa 92. When I disconnet the battery and I connet again, I start the engine and the OBC shows "P" and there aren't any change meanwhile I keep engine started. Once I stop the engine and I start again, OBC remains off, I mean, the display is black . Someone could tell me what's the meaning and how to manage ?

My OBC just reads "0.0" and non of the functions work. After much searching, I've come to find out it is a bad OBC. Mine is from a 5sp and not a Tip. North Hollywood Speedo wants $650 to fix it.

Which is really weird because I don't think the Turbo 964 came with a Tip.

No tip but they came with an OBC which also gives a boost reading

No, I can't help with the "P" sorry which is why I asked. It sounds like it is not uncommon but nobody has a n easy Phix.

Jason, don't you have your C4? If so you should be able to switch them over and isolate the issue to the gauge or the input circuit.

hello John, I don't understant your propposition, if you mean to switch my OBC with the OBC of NZ964C4, then we have an added issue: I'm in Paris and he is in New Zealand....
