Can You Still Drive If the Car Fan Is Broken?
1 Answers
No. The task of the cooling fan is to dissipate all the heat inside the engine through the cooling cycle. If the fan stops working, the engine's cooling is affected, and continuing to drive may lead to the so-called coolant boiling phenomenon. Reasons for car fan failure: 1. Aging of the fan itself: Many engine fans are made of plastic, and the engine compartment is constantly exposed to high temperatures. Over time, this causes the fan components to deteriorate. 2. Sensor signal interference: The fan operates based on signals from the coolant temperature sensor and refrigerant pressure sensor, which control its speed. If these sensors provide distorted signals due to external factors, it can affect the fan's operation. 3. Relay malfunction: If the fan does not turn on even when the coolant reaches the required temperature, the fan relay may be faulty. Due to aging or other reasons, the relay may remain in an open state, preventing the fan from functioning properly.
