220 is the first fan i think

they running a 12v lead to each fan to see if the motors are burned out.

Stock programming turns the first fan on at 226degF and the 2nd fan on at 235degF. In the later model, those settings are used for low and high speeds, rather than individual fans.

You mean the "check gauges" light? The gauge and the idiot light are driven off the sensor in the drivers side head. The engine fans are controlled by the PCM, which uses the sensor in the water pump housing. Might have a problem with one of the sensors.
