Terminator X Tuning - Disable Key-On Fan Operation

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 4 сер 2022
  • A common complaint we see with Holley Terminator X users is in regard to the fan control. Holley's Basic I/O is setup with some basic operations for controlling 1 or 2 electric fans, with or without A/C. And while these fans are temperature activated, there is nothing in this Basic I/O that prevents the fans from kicking on as soon as you apply key on power to the car, even if the engine is off. In some cases, this can contribute to difficult hot starts and low battery voltage. Follow these easy steps to disable the basic I/O for fans, and use custom output(s) with triggers instead.

    Thanks brother super simple easy video to follow idk why I couldn't think about this but I just changed everything around now also added a prevision for speed myself so fans kick off at 35mph instead of causing turbulence and slowing the air

      @@LeechMotorsports Now I'm having a problem. When my fan comes on the engine starts surging. Fan goes off it takes about 20 seconds for the engine to return to a smooth idle. Battery drops to 13.4 volts when the fan kicks on but then voltage surges with the idle up and down as well. Any thoughts on what I should look into? I've been trying to get this car drivable since before Christmas to no avail and it's springtime and I need to get it going.

    Thanks Matt! Please follow up with the PWM video and since many of us are using the Contour dual fan, I prefer 2 fans with different temperature settings. I'm currently using the Flex a lite PWM controller and it works well, but will be using the Terminator in the future with separate fan control .

      There is not a fix for that. That’s the trade off. The actual pro dash stuff can be setup to show when they activate. But I don’t think there is a way to make that work on the handheld.
