djmark7 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 in my car the electric rad fans come on as soon as i start car and stay on also on start it runs real rough do you think it could be sensor? a/c is not turned on when this happens Thnx, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 have you checked the codes? But yeah...sort of sounds like a coolant temp sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.monro Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 have you checked the codes? But yeah...sort of sounds like a coolant temp sensor.Yes I agree with Josh Depending on how the coolant temerature sensor fails . If after checking the codes you disconnect the battery for say 30 minutes this should reset the alarms. The fans may then not turn on at start depending on how the alarm is processed. My guess is that you have had the check engine light up sveral times and not taken any action so after say 5 or 10 such events the ECU has latched the fans up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmark7 Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 ok im gonna go with the coolant sensor, now one question? where is it? i see a sensor under alternator but it only has 1 lead, i asume thats for the gauge and not the computer sensor? this is on a ej22 engine Thnx Again, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I think the sensor you want is in the radiator but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAWA Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 theres no senor in the rad, the sensor you're looking for is at the top of the water manifold under the intake manifold. Theres actually two of em, i forget which is which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru/images/injectors/DCP_2477.JPG It's the big one (brown connector) btw that pic is on the coolant runner, under the pass side of the intake manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
