YES!! The programmer resets the electric cooling fans to be turned on by 185 degrees via the PCM. It does nothing to the thermostat, as the therostat is a mechanical, not electrical, device. A stock thermostat is 185 or 195 degrees. It will not open until reaching this temperature, regardless of any power programming.
