    Well it appears my low speed fan stopped working. I checked the fuses in the fuse panel located in the engine bay...there's 3 associated with the fans according to the manual and they look fine. I double checked my fan settings with the Diablo and the low speed fan should come on around 185 degrees and should come on with the A/C regardless of temps. The fan doesn't come on at any engine temp and doesn't come on with the A/C. I'm going to have to get the dealer to check it out, but I forget what the factory fan temps are supposed to be. I believe its like 209 for the low speed fan and 217 for the high speed fan. Are these right and if not what are they? I can't put the stock tune back in without wiping out my CMR tune and I don't want to run the stock tune with my cam anyways. I just want to put the fan settings back to stock so they don't notice I've messed with them.

    I would swap fuses anyways.

    Besides, aren't fans usually on a relay?? Last I checked, you can't "look" at a relay to see if it's good.....

    Bump

    C'mon guys...someone out there knows the factory fan temp settings pre Diablo. I want to know the exact fan settings so when I take it in they don't have a reason to ask me any questions about whether or not I've got a 180tstat and have the fans coming on sooner.

    I would think it shouldn't matter as to when the fan comes on. The fan should be a warranty item either way.

    But I know what you mean.


    I wanna say on at 203 and off at 215???

    I'll dig through the manual... should be a diagnostic for checking the relays or something. Under thermostat they say that the thermostat should stay closed to insure a minimum temp of 192 - 199 and that it should be FULL open at 220 after which the temp is controlled by the fans. hmmm.

    Seriously though...noone knows the factory fan settings? Maybe I'll throw a post on the Diablo Forum and see if Mike knows.
