Took a road trip last weekend and at one point noticed my temp gauge rising and eventually got up to the edge of the red section of the dial. Odd thing is I was driving 70mph and it was all of 75 degrees outside so cooling airflow should not be an issue. I was in WV and the temp would rise when climbing and then I could generally get it to drop back down to a reasonable level while coasting down the back side. I've also had an ongoing issue with my radiator fans since late last year where they tend to kick on to high speed for several minutes when I shut the car off. I realized about a month ago that the small fan was dead and replaced it so both fans now work but they still crank up when I shut the car off. It seems like there must be an issue with a temp sensor that is related to both the fans and my more recent temp gauge issue? I haven't had a chance to scan for error codes since my road trip but I had no errors as of last week despite the radiator fan issue.
