    The ones that I canthink of is:
    ECT- exceeds 113'c fans come on
    A/C pressure enable - pressure is greater than 275 psi fans come on

    Also if you have fbody service shop manual, look on page 6-1123 for electrical cooling fan disc. It gives more info than Ican type.
    Yes both are on, on the moment the cars starts up, regardless what the AC condition is.

    I have never done anything to the AC, just fill it whenever needed.

    The two DTCs that Iknow of that causes the fan to come on
    A failure in the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor or circuit will set one of the following
    DTCs:
    DTC P0117 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
    Conditions for running DTC P0117
    • The engine run time is greater than 10 seconds
    Conditions for setting DTC P0117
    • The engine coolant temperature is greater than 139°C
    • All conditions met for at least 45 seconds
    Action taken when DTC P0117 Sets
    • The PCM illuminates the Check Powertrain Lamp when the diagnostic runs and fails
    • The PCM will substitute a coolant temperature default value
    The PCM arrives at this default value, by using current intake air temperature, then counting upward to
    116°C at a rate of approximately 7 degrees per minute
    • PCM will turn on the electric engine cooling fans This is a FAIL-SAFE action by the PCM to prevent a
    possible engine overheat condition, since the DTC indicates an unknown actual coolant temperature
    • The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails The PCM stores this information
    in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records
    Conditions for clearing the Check Powertrain Lamp and DTC P0117
    • The PCM turns the Check Powertrain Lamp OFF when the diagnostic runs and does not fail
    • A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail
    DTC P0118 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit High Voltage
    Conditions for running DTC P0118
    • The engine run time is greater than 10 seconds
    Conditions for setting DTC P0118
    • The engine coolant temperature is at or below -38 9°C
    • All conditions met for at least 45 seconds
    Action taken when DTC P0118 Sets
    • The PCM illuminates the Check Powertrain Lamp when diagnostic runs and fails
    • The PCM will substitute a coolant temperature default value
    The PCM arrives at this default value, by using current intake air temperature, then counting upward to
    116°C at a rate of approximately 7 degrees per minute
    • PCM will turn on the electric engine cooling fans This is a FAIL-SAFE action by the PCM to prevent a
    possible engine overheat condition, since the DTC indicates an unknown actual coolant temperature
    • The PCM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails The PCM stores this information
    in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records
    Conditions for clearing the Check Powertrain Lamp and DTC P0118
    • The PCM turns the Check Powertrain Lamp OFF when the diagnostic runs and does not fail
    • A last test failed (current DTC) clears when the diagnostic runs and does not fail

    GEN
    These are the conditions to turn on the fans.
    The PCM will disengage the A/C compressor at low or
    high refrigerant pressures and control the operation of
    the engine cooling fans.

    ENGINE COOLING FAN LOW SPEED
    The engine cooling fan low speed relay is energised by the BCM.
    The cooling fan low speed relay will be turned ON when:
    • The A/C request indicated (YES) and either:
    • the vehicle speed is less than 30 km/h.
    or
    • A/C pressure is greater than 1500 kPa
    or
    • The coolant temperature is greater than 98°C.
    • or
    • If the coolant temperature is greater than 113°C, when the ignition is switched off, the relay is energised for
    approximately four minutes, this is known as Low Fan Run On.
    • or
    • If an engine coolant temperature sensor fault is detected and a DTC such as DTC P0177, P0188, P01114
    or P01115 is set.
    The cooling fan low speed relay will be turned OFF when any of the following conditions have been met:
    • An A/C request is not indicated (NO) and the coolant temperature is less than 95°C.
    • or
    • An A/C request is indicated (YES) and the vehicle speed is greater than 50 km/h and A/C pressure is less

    than 1170 kPa and the coolant temperature is less than 98°C.

    PartII
    ENGINE COOLING FAN HIGH SPEED
    • The engine cooling fan high speed relay is controlled by the PCM. The PCM will only turn ON' the engine
    cooling fan high speed relay fan if the engine cooling fan low speed relay has been "ON" for two seconds
    and the following conditions are satisfied.
    • There is a BCM message response fault which will cause a PIM DTC B2002.
    • An engine coolant temperature sensor fault is detected and a DTC such as DTC P0177, P0188, P01114 or
    P01115 is set.
    • Coolant temperature greater than 108°C.
    • The A/C refrigerant pressure is greater than 2400 kPa.
    If the low speed fan was OFF when the criteria was met to turn the high speed fan ON, the high speed fan will
    come ON 5 seconds after the low speed fan is turned ON. If both the engine cooling fan relays are ON, the
    PCM will turn OFF the high speed relay when:
    • The engine coolant temperature is less than 102°C.
    • A/C request not indicated (NO).
    • A/C request indicated (YES) and A/C pressure is less than 1900 kPa.

    Note: All cooling fans will be turned off in the vehicle speed is greater than 104 kph.
    Hope this helps.

    many, thanks. I just replaced the ECU it is very fine now. It looks like the ECU is not good
