Retrieved codes...cooling fan came on
So I was off on another problem this evening, and bridged leads A & B and my cooling fan immediately came on. Turns out that it always comes on when I insert the paperclip, and turns off when I remove it. What did the guy before me do with this fan??

Re: Retrieved codes...cooling fan came on
absolutely nothing. Its supposed to do that. It was made like that from the factory to indicate its in diagnostic mode...

The fan never came on when checking codes on either of my Camaro's - strange - they were both RS's with single fans.
