Cooling fan speed
The car does not overheat or anything, but when the fan turns on around 196+ degrees it doesn't seem to be pulling very hard.
Is this fan a two stage fan or do they just not pull very hard? I have wired electric fans direct in the past with the key before (junker cars) and they ALL seem to pull the air through very rapidly. This feels to only be working 1/2 as hard if that. Am I missing anything or burnt out the second stage?

The low speed cooling fan is commanded on when the coolant temperature reaches 108°C (226°F). It is turned off if the coolant temperature lowers to 104°C (219°F). The high speed cooling fan is commanded on when the coolant temperature reaches 113°C (235°F). It is turned off if the coolant temperature lowers to 108°C (226°F). When the A/C is on and the coolant temperature reaches 85°C (185°F), the low speed cooling fan will be turned on at vehicle speeds less than 56 kPh (35 mph).
