Hey all. I have a custom mail order SCT Xcal 2 tune from Modular Powerhouse. The tune is about 2 years old, but I wanted to check or adjust the cooling fan on/off temperatures. I have a hypertech 160 degree thermostat. Now that summer is here, just want to check that and adjust it.

I'm not sure what to set the 2 fan temps at either?

Can anyone give quick advice on how to do that?

The only thing I've ever done with the xcal 2 is load the custom tune and 5 minutes later done and never touched it again.

I'm scared I will accidently flash a plain tune on the car with just cooling fans adjusted without knowing I did so. And pull the custom tune out of the computer. I guess I'm paranoid.

Thanks in advance
Josh

When you go to the tune menu, you can scroll through the various tunes (up to three with an Xcal 2). You probably just have the one tune on there. Select it, then it'll ask you if you want to modify the optional parameters. Fans are under that option. Just don't mess with the timing and you'll be okay.
