if the coolant sensor that turns on the coolant fan is faulty, will it display a code or just be faulty and not turn on the fan.

No code, it's just an on/off ground switch.

Not all VINS are the same, and I see he has at least 2 cars.

The Fan Switch is indeed “
just an on/off ground switch” however some VINS use a CTS for a fan, which will set code 14 or 15 depending on mode of failure.


Happy Racing!
