It was based on the ambient air temp sensor that is used to display air temp on the info screen and not on engine temp. Just curious as I'm still riding my 14 FLHTK.
Yes, I kept checking the info screen for air temp and that sounds exactly like what I'm experiencing - above 80 the EITMS seems to go on at every stop once engine is up to operating temp. Below 80 I haven't seen it activate

Did you do a ECM flash to get it to work? How do you know it's working? Is there a way to manual start the fan or is it simply ECM controlled?
How did "to update" become "could ate" lol!!!
Anyways, no fan. Sorry if I misled you, but this is a bone stock '17 road glide special. I was just sharing my temps. I'm very happy with the temps and doubt I'll get the fan cooler, even here in FL
Put fan on and did some riding 72 ambient temp after 75 mi at 70 mph checked was 223 rode for a while and did 75 mi at 75 then some local traffic outside temp 78 sunny day temp was 226. Both times I stopped I left bike run fan was not running. I don't know the temp threshold it comes on at. Bike is stage 2 all SE parts and tuner
Took my TC out and under same conditions temp was 218 that bike has a fatcat and a good tune.
Won't the fan really only make a difference at low speeds and stops?
That's what I think but obviously the temp didn't get hi enough. I didn't get into a lot of stop and go generally around 35-40 on the slower end and only 78 outside not hot enough. At this point I'll have to wait until next year

Also, I went for a long ride yesterday. Was mid maybe 87 or 88 ambient air temp max. Wasn't real nuts about checking oil temp but it seemed to be between 220 230 every time I checked.

Did you take it to the dealer and have them reprogram the ECM to active the Oil Cooler Fan? It is required to make it work.

Thats correct 1st page of instillation below:
Functionality of this kit will require a verification that oil cooler fan control has been set to "ENABLED" in the
vehicle's electronic control module (ECM). This verification can ONLY be performed by a factorytrained
technician
at a HarleyDavidson
dealer, using the most recent version of the DIGITAL TECHNICIAN II computerbased
diagnostic software package.
This may not be relevant to you guys, just something I did, and wanted to post results here. I have a 17 CVO Street Glide. I also have a power vision tuner that I hooked up on the bike. It's not married to the bike and I didn't tune it. I just used it to get the gauge readings. The readings are engine temp, mph, head temp, intake air temp, map. here are my readings, your results may differ...also, I am not sure where the pv gets these readings from...
