Default Cooling fan temp program?

What kind of OBD II programmer is required to set the cooling fan on/off temps? Will a cheap OBD II scanner work?
Thanks, Titan

No. You need a programmer.

This, I lowered my fan-on temps a bit with HPTuners.

The easiest and most inexpensive way to change your fan set point is to buy a Vinci fan controller.. easy to revert back to stock settings in the winter...

The same exact unit
is
available from PEP Boys Auto stores for $39, and sold under the OEM
manufacturers name
"Hayden". It is usually found near the
aftermarket electric radiator fan kits, often
behind the parts
counter. You may have to look yourself, as some store employees
have no
idea what you are talking about. its packaged in a clear wraped card.
