I finally got my car working again . It had a hydro locked motor. So I replaced it with a freshly rebuilt one.

But im having some small problems. Like my fans always turn on 10 secs after i turn on the car and they stay on till i turn off the car.

So i used datamaster to see if i can get a clue on what is going on.

Here is what I got from the Engine Diagnostic Codes window:


MALF 43: ESC Fail


And I got alot more in the Engine Status Bits window




Bit# 5: 1 = Oil Level Switch
Bit# 4: 1 = Oil Change Reset Switch
Bit# 3: 1 = Power Steering Pressure Switch
Bit# 2: 1 = Heated Windshield Request
Bit# 5: 1 = Transmission Mode C
Bit# 3: 1 = Transmission Mode A
Bit# 2: 1 = Perf Switch Pressed
Bit# 0: 1 = TCC Brake Switch
Bit# 3: 1 = Enabled Shift B
Bit# 2: 1 = Enabled Shift A
Bit# 1: 1 = TCC Enable
Bit# 1: 1 = Fan 2 Relay
Bit# 0: 1 = Fan 1 Relay
Bit# 6: 1 = Engine MALF's Occurred
Bit# 5: 1 = CAT Converter Overtemp
Bit# 2: 1 = Right O2 Ready
Bit# 1: 1 = Left O2 Ready
Bit# 0: 1 = Engine Closed Loop


And here is a screen shot on what was going on.

I think the bit winder is just telling you the status of whatever. BInary uniT 1 or 0, on or off, yes or no, peanut butter or jelly

Code 43- Knock sensor circuit. Check ecm for open or short to ground. Check routing of wiring, including spark plug wires near knock senor wiring, reroute as necessary. Replace knock sensor.

Once your trouble code is fixed, the fans will go off.
