So my check engine light came on my 2022 Silverardo 2.7 about 2 weeks ago.  Put the code reader on it and P2CBB fan 3 underspeed came up.  45K on the engine.  Took to dealer to have it checked out last Friday.  They did some reset on  the software for the fuel injectors due to a recall of some sort.  Now the check engine light is off.   I have not had any overheating or any other issues  Should I let it ride for now or have the cooling fan replaced? 

 

There are 3 fans and I don't know which one to change out if I decided to do it myself.  The dealer wanted 1600 to replace the cooling fan and I said no.  Drove it home.  Light has been off for 3 days now.  Has anyone else had any experience with this?  Thanks in advance for your advice.

I'd let it ride.

 

I'm not surprised by the price they quoted you as removing that 3 fan cooling module is some work.  Book time is around 9 hours plus the time to evacuate and recharge the air conditioning refrigerant to do the job, so there is another hour on an R1234yf system.

Gotcha.  Looks like it could be a big job.  The light is out now.

Wow my 2023 just got the same code while coming from Georgia to Florida. 54k miles on truck. I cleared the code and will call the dealership tomorrow

? clearing the code isn't a great idea if you want the dealer to fix the problem as a warranty repair, as they are more likely to check/fix things if there is an actual code present.

    • It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is. 
    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
