All of this operation is out the window if the vehicle speed is greater than 35mph. Above 35mph the fans are commanded off irrespective of engine temp.

Additionally if the engine temp is greater than 185 degrees and you turn on the AC, both fans come on in low speed mode (again assuming the vehicles speed is less than 35mph) With AC on they will not go to high speed until the engine temp reaches 235.


Great info. Thank you very much
