Hi
Check the temperature sensor on the back of thermostat housing, The fans will run if the sensor is unplugged or faulty.
Note: there should be 3 different sensors, 1 for the ECU, 1 for the temp gauge & another 1 for the STOP & High temp warning light.
Have you got ac fitted? Is it switched on? this will cause the fans to run aswell.
To change the Keypad code do this:
Ignition on, red keypad light on, input old code.
Green light comes on, Press button C, Keypad beeps once.
Enter a new 4 digit code slowly.
Press button C again, Keypad beeps 4 time & green light flashs 4 times.
Code is now changed.
Note: the keypad will remember BOTH codes old & new, untill the next time the keypad is used & you input a code.
EG: you forget you have changed the code ( Done this myself a few times, lol )& put the old code in, it will let you do this ONCE ONLY!
So if you change it, lock the car & come back later & put the new code in, thats the only code it will remember.
There is also SERVICE mode which lets you let someone else use your car with a different code, eg Friend or garage.
To set this:
Stick your 4 digit code in, green light comes on.
Press button S & keypad beeps.
Enter a different 4 digit code slowly & press button S agsin.
Keypad beeps 6 times & green light flashs 6 times.
Keypad will now respond to both codes.
To turn service mode off all you have to do is enter your own 4 digit code.
