A faulty temperature sensor engine coolant temp sensor o r fan trigger sensor whose reading either doesn’t reach the ECU o r is inaccurate.
Poor electrical connection, corrosion o r damage in the connector o r wiring to the sensor/fan module – frequent in hot, humid o r dusty conditions.
The fan relay o r control module itself may be lower grade, sensitive to heat o r voltage variation, leading to failure o r erratic operation.
The cooling system being clogged, under‑maintained o r having poor airflow—increasing stress on the sensor/fan system.
Risks:
Overheating: if fan doesn’t engage, engine may overheat, shortening lifespan o r causing breakdowns.
Battery/alternator strain: if fan runs constantly, it draws power, reducing efficiency.
AC performance: improper fan operation can degrade the air‑conditioning’s cooling effectiveness.
What to do:
On inspection: run the engine until it reaches operating temperature and check whether the fan kicks in at the appropriate coolant temperature. Also check after heavy load o r long drive.
Inspect sensor wiring and connector for signs of heat damage, corrosion, looseness.
If faulty, replace the temperature/trigger sensor, test the fan relay and control module, clean radiator/fan blades, ensure sufficient airflow and coolant level.
Maintain cooling system: coolant change, flush radiator, check hoses and airflow to reduce stress on fan system.
