Hi,
I'm after a little advice or thoughts on a new problem I've recently discovered.
My 2015 Gen II cooling fans are not coming on and on a recent trip to Europe it was overheating when riding through a city centre (Right into the red with the warning light on). I didn't know the fans weren't running until i got home and started looking for a problem.
Now the bike has very recently been remapped and I can't recall whether the fans have worked since then or not but I want to check as much as I can before going back to them.
Firstly, the fans are fine, they spin free and i've run external 12v to both and they spin up just fine.
I've checked both 15a fuses and they are good too.
Lastly i directed my attention to the thermo switch, which from what I can gather is the one on the rear left side of the block (?) When disconnected it throws an F1 code. I've worked out resistances of this to fool the ECU. It was 2.7k reading from the thermo switch with engine cold, so I put resistors across the connector, gradually lowering resistance and the temp gauge was responding accordingly. I can get the temp gauge to rise to around 3/4 which should be way above the fan cut in temp but still nothing happens.
The only thing I have to check now is the fan relay but I can't seem to find info on where and what this is.
There is a relay next to the fuses but when unplugged the fuel pump doesn't run so i assume it's for that.
Could anyone help with locating and testing of the fan relay please?
After this, if the relay tests out okay then I can only assume someone screwed up when squirting new 1's and 0's into my ECU during the remap.
Thanks
Andy.
