Problem; high speed on cooling fan does not operate by itself. Engine temperature rises to 219 before low speed fan comes on and cycles at 212. can manually turn on high speed with scanner, high speed will not modulate on its own. changed high speed relay and the resistor in the shroud.

It sounds like the engine coolant temperature sensor is off a little causing the fan to come on late.

Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when changing the sensor out:

Below is what it will be like on your car.

Please let us know what you find.
