All Models

On all models, electric cooling fans operate when either the coolant temperature reaches a specified temperature or when A/C pressure reaches a set pressure (if equipped with A/C). On Breeze, Cirrus, Sebring Convertible and Stratus with automatic transmission, a transmission fluid thermistor also has some influence on fan operation.

On all models, cooling fan should not operate during engine cranking. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls cooling fan operation, through cooling fan relay, based on input from sensors. See appropriate ENGINE COOLING FAN OPERATING TEMPERATURE table. PCM will also set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in PCM memory if it detects a problem in the electric cooling fan relay, system or circuit.

NOTE: Information is not available from manufacturer for vehicles not listed.
