Problem overview

Some Land Rover Discovery Sport owners report experiencing issues with the cooling fans continuing to run even after the engine is turned off, which may indicate a problem with the vehicle's cooling system. These issues can stem from overheating or a fault with the relay, as well as faulty temperature sensors or problems with the ECU unit. In many cases, replacing the fan relay, checking the control module, and inspecting the wiring can help resolve the issue. Additionally, while the electric fan is designed to operate at higher temperatures, it should cease functioning once the temperature drops to a certain level. Some owners find that a malfunctioning control module is the cause of the fans running continuously, and replacing it may resolve the problem. It is recommended that affected owners have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to diagnose and address the underlying cause.
