How do you turn off an engine fan?
There are two high pressure switches, one to cut out the compressor and the other to signal the ECM to turn on the fan. Open circuit to the ECM means high pressure, once you jump it to trigger low pressure, (assuming the pressure is faulty), the ECM will count down about 2 to 3 minutes before it will actually turn off the fan.
How often does the cat cooling fan cycle?
The fan cycles off and on about every 3 minutes. 3 on; 3 off. It does this all the time. Weather idling, road speeds, or A/C on or off. Engine temp never goes above 190*. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?
Why does my engine fan keep coming on when the a / C is off?
You could have a bad high press switch on the A/C. Thats the swtich that will turn the fan on when the A/C is on and say your not moving to get air flow. Unplug the swtich and put a jumper wire on it and if the fan stops you found your porblem. They can go bad and make the fan stay on even with the A/C off.
Why does the ECM keep the fan on?
the best thing is take it to the dealer have them hook it up and see why the ecm is holding the fan on. The ecm sends power to the solenoid to shut the fan off. Dont rule out the a/c if the expansion valve gets pluged it will hold pressure for a long time which can keep the fan on. tkilby Thanks this. Having a great time with TMC.
