Hi,
I was riding with a buddy a couple of days ago, and noticed something weird with the fan on my Uly: After stopping, I turned the bike off and removed the key, and as usual the fan went on for a couple of minutes until turning itself off. But this time, maybe ten minutes after the fan shut itself off, it started again, and just kept going, until I went back to the bike, started the engine and turned it back off. The same thing happened when I got back home.
Both times, the bike was standing in sunlight, but it wasn't extremely hot weather, so I don't really think it would be the sun fooling a sensor or something like that.
Does anybody here recognize this particular problem and know how to deal with it?

You can check the settings using one of the ECM programs to determine the key off fan off value is still correct.

Do you have access to ECMSpy?

No, I don't yet - that is: I have the software, but I haven't gotten around to making or purchasing a cable for it yet. That might, as you imply, be a good idea... ; )

It could be that or your temp sensor is going bad, but if it were the temp sensor it would likely throw a trouble code 14. Do you have a service manual?

Yep, I've read up on the temp sensor and how it works. I'll try to get my hands on an ECMSpy cable too - I'll be needing it anyway. Today, however, the problem didn't occur. I'll follow up on this; thanks for the tips!
