Re: '165 switching both fans from the ECM?



The Coolant temp (A/D Ch 4) input on ECM Pin C10, controls output ECM Pin C1, which controls the Fan Relay.

The A/C Pressure input on ECM Pin D11, Also controls output ECM Pin C1, which controls the Fan Relay.

you only have the one A/D Ch 4 (input Pin C10) that is doing the resistance to temperature conversion in the ECU.

So it looks like you would have to write the routine that looked at A/D Ch 4 and then controls output ECM Pin C11

Adding the second fan control relay to ECM Pin C11 and then controlling your second Fan.

You could also do a 2 speed single fan with low speed/(on off) controlled via output ECM Pin C1, and high fan controlled by ECM Pin C11

Maybe a better solution would be to Pulse Width Modulate output ECM Pin C1 and drive the fan via a control circuit instead of using a relay. Now you have a continuously variable cooling fan that runs at a speed based on engine temp or A/C pressure.

Looks like D11 is actually sampling the AC pressure switch for continuity
to ground.  This is the case on '88, '89 Vette, and '86 F-body pinouts in
my Helms and the diy-efi incoming directory.  It uses this input to
determine whether the AC compressor is running, setting the flag for all
the "AC pressure high" options.  Looking at the Helms manual, D11 shows up
as strictly an input path.

This creates a new mystery...how do BUAs control the aux fan?  There's
logic for it in the .bin but I'm not finding an ECM pin where they drive it.

Hmmm....
