Cooling fans

[Simonh0407]

Hi guys, newbie here.

There are a couple of things I’m mulling over asking whilst I familiarise myself with my first Toyota.

Can I ask if anyone else has noticed that soon after starting from cold the engine coolant fans kick in?

They don’t run for long, 20 or 30 seconds maybe.

Is it some form of engine management test maybe?

Haven’t noticed if the same happens when the engine is warm and it is started again but will make sure to check.

Thanks in anticipation.

Defrost mode kicks in the fans

Air conditioning system kicks in the fans too

 

Check those two, I suspect with this weather that your defrost mode is switched on.

Thanks mecheng46, I’ll switch both off before starting it and see what happens.

Much appreciated.
