Default More fun with Fan issues... Different car...

Been running into mutliple issues lately.. Now the fans in my 1991 do not come on even when signaling to turn them on with the Tech one, sometimes they turn on for a split second and off.... Now the odd part, if you go into service/Diagnosis mode it will turn the fans on as it sound.

Temp gauge seems to be working per the tech one.....


Cant win I am thinking this is another ECM issue

Thoughts?

Can you check just the fans; maybe they are beginning to fail.

Did that direct power to fans, and they work....... When I run the diagnostic and it does the ECM check "12" fans come on instantly and are strong.

Gauge fuse is also good

Lee my son just went through this on his GS was the temp sensor that also read GOOD via tech-1A. We replaced the sensor and them installed the new SPAL fans. GC

Swapped ECMS in the 91 to the 90, in the 90 the Fans work when commanded by the Tech one .. odd.

1991
-fans work with direct power to the fan motor
-fans work in Tech one Diagnostic mode.... Testing ECM
*so we know relays, wiring, and fans are good
-Fans wont command on in the 1991w/th the tech 1 and wont come on at
205 degrees as they should
-TEch one command for fan test works on other cars with the same ECM

GC how does the sensor shut down the Tech One when its in a fan testing mode?

Does the Tech1 show fans requested (on) and they don't run? Pull the connector to the high a/c pressure switch just to see what happens.
