From the '98 manual:
"An “OC” (open
circuit) will appear in the display in place of the temperature,
when the sensor is exposed too temperatures
below -40° C (-40° F), or if the sensor circuit is
open.

Look for a loose connection or bad ground first.

Clipped to the inside of the grill on the '98. Raise the hood and look for the wire leading to it.

Before you buy any parts, there are diagnostic processes to assure that the parts are needed. Let me know if you need them.
