Title: Fans on while flashing? Post by: seany260 on April 15, 2017, 12:01:51 AM Is it just me or does everyone else's cooling fans run full load when flashing the car? If so can anyone explain the answer to this and anyway of possible stopping it permanently.

Depends on Model/Engine/Flashtool Galletto on 3L TDI or 2L TFSI does the same and there is a message which asks you to remove fuse x and y. Always connect charger to the batterie.

Have you ever known anyone to find in the written code what forces the signal, or maybe it's a loss in voltage reference that causes this while flashing. Does the same this as if it's a bad checksum.

Thanks for the info, now I know for sure. ;D Im guessing pulling a fuse or disconnecting the fan module is the only work around? Title: Re: Fans on while flashing? Post by: prj on April 30, 2017, 10:01:56 PM If the battery is decent, it can easily run the fan for 5 minutes while you are flashing.
Safer to connect a charger, but if you KNOW the battery is good, there will be no problem. |
