Re: questions on cts sensor and fan switch

The primary fan is ecm controlled. The secondary is controlled bye a temp switch in the cyl header between cyl 6&8. Or if a/c request.

And YES, the CTS ( coolant temp sensor ) gives the computer information for engine management. It is NOT the same as the coolant temp sender that provides info for the temp gauge on the dashboard
