It only overheats when it is idling because when the car is moving the wind helps to cool it.
As far as the fan goes, radiator fan operation is controlled by the Total Integrated Power Module (TIPM) with
inputs from the Powertrain Control Module (PDC). Inputs for coolant temperature and
vehicle speed are sent to the the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) (1). This information is
then sent via the communication bus to the TIPM which turns on the radiator fans.
What you should do is read the codes first.
