Hi
A friend popped around with his 2012 Audi s5. It has been stolen/recovered and he's had to replace some wiring as loom was cut. He seems to have got most things working. The main issue remaining is that when he turns the car off, after about 2 minutes, the engine fans start at full speed, and then never turn off, eventually draining battery.

Autoscan coming up. Main question - are the G395 faults related to this problem? (My one previous experience of a similar fault on another car came up on the engine module and I think it was F265, so I'm having doubts). Thoughts most welcome!
Thanks in advance:

At the moment I'm thinking there is nothing on the above scan that actually helps pinpoint this, and the temp sensor faults relate to the AC and are a red herring.
Specific questions:
1) Am I right that the main things involved are are G83 ECT sensor, G62 sensor, ECU, and the controllers on the fans themselves?
2) Is it right that the fan controllers do not communicate diagnostic information on CAN bus?
3) Is it fair to assume that since G83 and G62 are not throwing faults, and ECU isn't either, it is likely wiring/grounding to fan controllers, or controllers faulty?
4) Is only way to test fan controllers with oscilloscope?
Thanks.

To add a bit more info. He came again today.
All temp sensors are returning plausible values.
"Test Outputs" with both fan controllers causes each fan in turn to build up to full speed and then drop back to zero, so working as they should.
So the mystery deepens. As far are I can see the ECU is talking to fan controllers fine.
It's as if the cars "go to sleep" signal, 2 minutes after ignition off, is causing the fans to come on.

Other possible clues:
1)Apparently until the ambient temp sensor was replaced the fans ran at 100% all the time.
2) We think the car had a new instrument cluster as the mileage is very low. I did wonder if something isn't coded/adapted correctly somewhere.

The only thing I could suggest is to take it apart again and check the fan/rad connections, but that is a long shot.
Thoughts still welcome!

Thanks. Yeah, looks like it. Do you know if there's a separate earthing strap to the rad normally, or is it just grounded through the fan connectors? I'd love to get a scope on the control wire but don't have one :-(
I've just been chatting to an Audi master-tech who reckons something is keeping the CAN bus awake. As I can stop the fan s by simply opening a door I'm not convinced yet. But it's another option to explore.
