Fan On, Engine Off I noticed today that my fan stayed on after turning off the engine. Temps were pretty high, around 235.
Any idea what they are set to and how to change them??

I already have a 160. With the AC on and the ATI fan. Temps can get pretty high.
I was hoping there was a way to set the turn on temp lower.

they are set at 230* on. odd they stayed on after you turned the key off though. you can either buy the SLP fan switch or buy a handheld like this one from VHP http:www.stealthram.com/vhptuner.htm and turn them on sooner and do some tuning while you are at it.

There must be another sensor to keep the fans on after the engine is turned off.

The fan is suppose to keep running until it gets below the cut off temp.
If your motor is 235 degrees.. why would you not want your fan to keep running?

Not when the engine is turned off. What I was wondering is can you can drop the turn on temp?
I would think there would be two sensors. Could the PCM use it if the engine is turned off?
