Why does the fan keep running on my TDI se?

Why does the engine fan keep running after engine is stopped?

In the past few days the engine fan continues to run after only short trips (3 miles). The only way to shut it off is to start the engine and then turn it off. This happens after each trip. Today I decided to let the fan run while I put away groceries (about 5 minutes). I Checked and the fan was still running.

How does a non turbo radiator fan work?

Non Turbo Fan Opertion: Radiator fan operation is control by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with inputs from the temperature of the coolant, which is sensed by the coolant temperature sensor, and vehicle speed which is measured by the vehicle speed sensor. The PCM turns on the fan through either the high or low speed fan relay.

Is it normal for a car fan to run all the time?

This is normal in many vehicles, such as BMW or Mercedes-Benz. The radiator fan may run up to five minutes and sometimes longer. Unless there is an electrical issue, it may stay on all the time until it drains the battery. When the engine is running, the coolant circulates from the engine and flows to the radiator, where heat is dissipated.

Why is the cooling fan on my PT Cruiser not working?

The contact owns a 2002 Chrysler Pt Cruiser. While parked at a gas station, the vehicle overheated and the contact noticed coolant bubbling on the reservoir. The contact also stated that the cooling fan was not activating. The dealer stated that piston number two failed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

Is the Rad fan always running when the a / C is?

No problem!! A/C isn’t cooling ok till you start driving. Sitting still it doesn’t cool and the rad fan only seems to run when engine temp is calling for it. I changed the low speed fan and high speed fan relays and get the same result.

How to know if your radiator cooling fan is running?

*Professional scanner* can run functional test on cooling fan for circuit check in each speed mode and command fan to run in each .. plus it can see what inputs the fan is getting from PCM and show results in live data…. That is the BEST way to check it out! ..
