Electronic Box Cooling Fan




Electronic Box Cooling Fan




The E-box develops very high temperatures caused by engine heat and the energy dissipated by the control units. The ECM controls an electric cooling fan in the base of the electronic box to draw in cool air from the passenger compartment.

Since electronic control modules need to operate at a reduced temperature, the air temperature in the E-box must be kept as low as possible. Lower temperatures extend the life expectancy of electronic control modules.
