Default Calibrating ECU temperature

Hi guys!
I have just installed a GBooster 160 in my Liebetrau SU-27, but when I turn the ECU on,
I get a temperature reading of approx 60 degrees Centigrade - is there any way to calibrate
the ambient temperature on an ECU?

Thanks!

Tor, it's parameter #47 under the Autostart Menu:

To enter the 4:AUTOSTART menu, first press the SET key and then use the Up/Down keys to switch between the available parameters.... 47: EGT/AMBIENT

Use this parameter to adapt the temperature sensor (EGT zero point) to the current ambient temperature
Standard value: e.g. 21 °C (70 °F)
After a re-installation, this setting should be checked and corrected if necessary!

To change a setting, first press the SET key and then use the Up/Down keys to switch between the available values. A ? indicates the value to be set. To finish the setting and store the new value, press the SET key again.

Thanks, guys - I actually sat down and read the manual today!!!!!! and found it just like George said!
I have adjusted it and ran the turbine today, just perfect! I wish Norway was warmer, but 63 degrees.....

I thought maybe you were in Death Valley at 150F. Hey, it could happen!

..and if you replace the original battery with another type and makes the change in the ecu accordingly, you will have to recalibrate again.
Good to hear you project is moving on.
