cooling fan software update

Rec'd postcard from another Porsche dealer than where I purchased mine from stating my car may qualify for a campaign. Called said dealer and was told my 2006 997 coupe has a software update to prevent cooling from running when engine off so battery isn't killed. Haven't noticed fan running with car off. Anyone else have this issue?

Re: cooling fan software update

Can happen if you put a warmed up car in a garage, close the door, the garage gets even hotter from the car, the fan starts and runs for a wile, no big deal. Can not remember if I had the ignition on or not.

Re: cooling fan software update

It happens on mine from time to time (yay for this Texas heat). I don't mind, and I'm not motivated to get the "fix." I'd rather risk the battery drain in exchange for the more aggressive cooling.

Re: cooling fan software update

I had my 2006 997 S done because the campaign, as far as my dealer told me, is not about preventing the car's fan running when shut off, but it's related to its rotating speed. That's the version I got from my dealer. My car's fan does come on after it is shut off now that we're in Florida's Summer after the campaign was performed, as well as before such campaign was performed. Therefore, I am inclined to believe my dealer's version which is related to the fan's speed and not to actually prevent it from turning on after being shut off. If anyone has a different version or a more specific one, please, do post it so I can cross reference it by asking my dealer. Thanks.

Happens with my 2005 2CS all the time in my garage, some time after I park the car. Has never been an issue with my battery.

Happened to me. I got the recall notice, w737, and they reprogrammed the software that controls the fan. The fan only turns on when I put the key in the ignition (engine still cooling down) to check the oil or the tire pressure.
