I have replaced the coolant temperature sensor, relay, and fuses. The fan is not responding to the temperature sensor. The fan will work when defrost or a/c is engaged. Vehicle has no coolant leaks. Just replaced the water pump and pressure test shows no sign of issues. Mitchell points to new pcm. Anything else I can try before I resort to buying a pre-flashed computer?

Sounds like PCM is not picking up the CTS signal and not activating the relay to fire up the electrci fan motor

Using a Solus I can read the coolant temperature sensor.
