Narrative:
I was notified by the FAA that the 'a' check I accomplished on aircraft xyz had a discrepancy with the crew oxygen bottle pressure, at the time I check the pressure it was 1600 psi, the cockpit temperature was 90 degrees at XA00. After connecting the jetbridge conditioned air, the temperature began dropping at XE00. When I put the logbook on board the temperature was at 47 degrees. I think possibly the 40 degree drop in temperature would account for the oxygen pressure discrepancy.
