Engine cooling fan

Post by xvr843 »

Is their a way i can take my car to the dealership and have them change the settings for my cooling fan so it can come on at 180 degrees? Because during the summer time, it seems to over heat when im at stop lights or at a drive thru. I was told the fan comes on at 225 but that kinda scares me. In the winter time it doesn't go past 180 degrees being that i got a 180 thermostat. Around how much will a dealership charger me to change my cooling fan setting? anyone had this done before?

Most dealers will do no more than replace a PCM. They won't do any programming. You will need to find someone who does tuning or get a new one from Intense, ZZP etc.

And it is possible more in detail. That means PCM and that the such ZZP etc.
What I should reprogram? Or what to replace a detail what the fan was engaged on 180-190 f.

There are a couple other ways around this. One is to turn on the AC, it will force the fans on high speed. Two is to do the fan override and have a switch to turn on when you want to. Others have done this and if you do a search, you may find the threads for it.
