That will usually happen due to low air pressure. When the air gets to over 100 psi it should turn off the fan. Also whenever the ac compressor pressure gets to high.

That is a tough one since there are quite a few things to look at. But I can help with a quick test. Key off fan will lock on. Key on fam will unlock. If it stays on unplug solenoid. If it stays on remove air line from solenoid to fan and see if it is coming out of solenoid. If air is coming out and it unlocks than solenoid has failed. If it’s locked at that point than clutch has failed.

More than likely either your coolant sensor is shorting internally or your wiring by your coolant level sensor is pulled to tight or vent causing an open circuit and throwing that code. You should be able to jump the two pins to get over safely till you get it narrowed down.

Thanks for reaching out. I think your very close to the problem. When it’s intermittent operation there’s only a couple things it’s going to be. Since you changed out that solenoid. I would check that solenoid connector and wiring for any shorts or any spread pins. Which is very common. After that a high pressure switch for the ac would also cause fan to activate when not requested. Start with the connector and hopefully your issue is there.

@@Justknick thanks for reaching out. If the fan turns on when idling and ac is off we have a problem. If it turns on with ac on than we’re good. The fan will come on about 220 and drop temps to about 200. If that’s the case when driving we’re all good. If the fan comes on and temps don’t drop than we definitely have issues with radiator blockage or cooling system problems. Hills are tough but as long as it doesn’t pass 240 than we’re still safe.

Not a problem at all man. This can be a problem with one of your brake chambers backfeeding air. If you have squeeze pliers you can clamp off one chamber at a time and do the same routine to see if it still leaks air. If you through all chambers and it still leaks than I’d lean towards a brake valve.

@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228

Жыл бұрын

Great question, and thanks for reaching out. The fan on most typical FTL products are normally closed. So with this set up the fan will spin free with key on. With key off it should lock up after 30 seconds. Now this is assuming you have a air actuated fan and not a viscous style with fluid in it. With engine running if you unplug your fan solenoid it should engauge the fan and you will notice a difference. Easy test there. If that turns it on I would chase either an ac issue or parameter issue.

Thanks for reaching out. If your fan turns on it’s from one of two things. Either ac is on our engine temp is getting past 220. If ur fan is coming on and than turning itself off after a few min than there’s no issue. If its erratic than I’d start looking looking at the wiring. Most common for your year is spread pins at high pressure switch or the fan solenoid.

My fan clutch is constantly engaged , could this be the culprit of my box not reaching adequate temperature and emitting white smoke once it’s relatively warmed and i hop on the fwy. It’s starts blowing white smoke for 8 min- throws the MIL and check engine but then stops spewing white smoke until i turn off the truck again.

@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228

Great question, when the fan comes on it reduces power and coolant temps. So with the fan on the temps should be maintained lower since your forcing more air through the radiator. Now I can see if you push your truck hard and it just can’t keep up such as plugged radiator/cac than u might be running hotter temps. But turn the ac off when u run and see if it affects the fan operation. Than you will know if it’s ac related or strictly a truck side issue.
