Why is the fan running in my engine?

It is possible that this problem of your car’s fans constantly running is some sort of mechanical or electrical error from a poor sensor or other component. There are temperature sensors and some cars have separate sensors for the gauge itself. The fan can be shut off when the engine temperature warrants.

When should engine fan run?

How does the cooling fan work on a Toyota?

After that, the order isn’t so important.

What is the Green relay on a Toyota Corolla?
