With the car on but not running you can test the relays\u00a0by grounding the wire you cut. Do it\u00a0one at a time. When grounded the relay will activate and turn on the fan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>When completely finished with the modification there is an easy way to test it. With the car on but not running you can test your handy work by connecting your laptop to the ecu via EvoScan. In the lower right of the screen the Actuators button can be pressed and it will show a list of fuctions you\u00a0can test. You will see buttons to test\u00a0both rad fan high and rad fan low.\u00a0 Sometimes you have to connect to the ecu and\u00a0then stop datalogging\u00a0before the actuators work.<\/div>\n<div>The 91-93 PNP Flash Ecu comes with extra pins and plug.If you do teh modification this way you\u00a0don&#8217;t even have to remove the two thermo switches. They are electrically removed from the circuit and won&#8217;t affect anything. Plus if you want to go back to stock it will be an easy retrofit.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plug-location-93.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-861\" alt=\"Plug location 93\" src=\"http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plug-location-93-211x300.jpg\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plug-location-93-211x300.jpg 211w, http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plug-location-93-300x426.jpg 300w, http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Plug-location-93.jpg 606w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/93circuit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-862\" alt=\"93circuit\" src=\"http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/93circuit-230x300.jpg\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/93circuit-230x300.jpg 230w, http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/93circuit-300x390.jpg 300w, http:\/\/chromedecu.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/93circuit.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following instructions help you\u00a0modify your 91-93 3S to let the Plag and Play Falsh Ecu control\u00a0your radiator fan.
