2002 TB LS 199k miles.
I was on a 600 mile trip on Wednesday and about halfway I got a SES light. Checked the code using Torque - P0495. Everything seemed to be working okay so I continued the trip. Temp stayed stable and gas mileage was not affected.
Reset the the code once I got home and so far it has not come back although I have only done a few short trips around town. I also checked and was able to stop the fan using a cloth so it is not locked.
Prior to this I did notice that it seemed to be "blowing" more than usual. Actually thought I might have an exhaust issue. This happens mainly when accelerating.
My assumption is that the fan clutch is on the way out? From what I have read, most seem to just fail? From what I have searched and read some people have stated they did not get any codes or at least they replaced the fan clutch before they got any codes.
Is there any way to test this any further?
Anything else I should be checking?
