Help with $8D Fan Disable MPH

Post by toliphint »

Super_8dm2.xdf has two Scalars defined:
- Fan 1 Disable Vehicle Speed (@ 0x374)
- Fan 2 Disable Vehicle Speed (@ 0x375)

These parameters appear to be non-functional. I’m no Assembly programmer, but looking at the ANHT hack, the comments define these as Enable speeds, not disable, at L8374 and 8375 respectively:
L8374: FCB 35 ; 35 MPH FAN 1 ENABLE SPD
L8375: FCB 50 ; 50 MPH FAN 2 ENABLE SPD

I’d like to disable my fans based on MPH. Could you please shed some light on what the code is doing or not doing with these items.

Thanks

These only deal with fans when A/C is active.
If the car is below the set speed, the fan will turn on (even if coolant temp is cold)
The idea was to keep air flowing across the condenser for the A/C.
Once the car is above the MPH setting, the fans operate normally from the coolant temp.
