Pretty sure my 2013 696 has it when I flip to it. Per the 696 manual:

Air temperature indicator
Shows the outside air temperature.
Display limits: -39°C ÷ +124°C.
In the event of a sensor FAULT (-40°C,+125°C or
disconnected), a string of dashes "- - -" (not flashing)
is displayed and the "Vehicle/Engine diagnosis -
EOBD" light comes on (8,Fig. 8) .

Interesting.  I don't have a CEL though.  Weird.  I'm going to call the shop and see.

Update...

Appears to be a faulty air temp sensor.  Took it to my shop and the guy will replace it for me and see what happens.  He happened to have that part on hand.  He was initially worried that these bikes were similar to the newer ones with combo pressure/air temp sensors (that would be more pricey).  And he was actually surprised that my 2012 had a separate one since this part failed somewhat often.

I'll update when I have more news.
