Fans come on at 154*

[quicksilver45]

I have had CEL codes with my new 4127 motorad Tstat so I changed to a Jet 180* stat.

I let the car idle to check for leaks and the fans came on at 154* according to the EVIC. I have the fans set by the preditor for 183* and 193*.

Why are the fans coming on at 154*, anyone have a answer.? Bad preditor progam?? or ??.

Are you looking at engine temperature or oil temperature? The regular EVIC shows the oil temp. You need to go into the "easter egg" sub menus to see the engine temp.

I do not know what "easter egg" sub menu is.
What I am looking at shows what I suppose to be a oil can with a temp symbol thingy coming out the top and a little drip at the spout and the reading is in *F. It is in the group of readings with oil pressure and tire pressure. If this is not the engine temp how do I get to it?

Thats not the engine temperature, its the oil temperature.

To get the engine temperature you need to go into the diagnostics menus in the EVIC. Put the EVIC in compass/Temp mode, Hold down the compass and music note buttons on the steering wheel. The display will change after about 10 seconds. Then using the steering wheel up and down buttons scroll to the screen with the rpms, speedo, voltage and engine temperature. Thats the real engine temp.

Well, I'll be a ring tail monkey !!!
Where do you find this information. I could not find it in the owners manual.

Thanks for the help.
I guess everything is all OK then.

Its not in the manual. Its supposed to be just for the service departments, but the info is all over the LX, 300, Charger and Magnum Forums.
