    Abstract: A system and method of operating a cooling system for a vehicle engine, wherein one or more motors are operable to rotate one or more fans. Each of the one or more motors is controlled by a motor controller associated with the motor, in response to a control signal received from a system controller and an enable signal received from the vehicle. The motor controller operates the motor at a speed based upon the control signal if the control signal is received, and operates the motor at a predetermined speed if the control signal is not received but the enable signal is received.

    Abstract: A fan shroud assembly mounts a radiator to a vehicle frame. The fan shroud assembly includes a fan shroud, a first frame bracket for mounting the fan shroud to the vehicle frame, and a second frame bracket for mounting the fan shroud to the vehicle frame. The first frame and second brackets include a bottom wall and a back wall. The fan shroud includes: an air chamber wall defining an air chamber and configured to support the radiator; an air outlet at a first side of the air chamber wall; an air inlet at a second side of the air chamber wall opposite from the first side; a first section of the air chamber wall extending between the air inlet and the air outlet; and a second section of the air chamber wall extending between the air inlet and the air outlet.

    Abstract: A heat exchanger module mountable to a vehicle frame by first and second lateral sides of the heat exchanger module. The heat exchanger module includes a fan shroud. The fan shroud is a structural fan shroud. The fan shroud includes first and second frame brackets extending from the fan shroud, one on the first lateral side and one on the second lateral side. The fan shroud is attached to at least one of a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger by at least one fastener that extends through the fan shroud.

    Abstract: A valve including a housing, a motor within the housing, and a pinout configuration with an electrical contact. The electrical contact is configured to receive and transmit signals. The valve also includes a motor controller that receives power at the valve, receives a control message, and characterizes the control message as a first type. In response to characterizing the control message as the first type, the motor controller controls the motor to set the valve to a first position in response to determining that the electrical contact is electrically closed and controls the motor to set the valve to a second position in response to determining that the electrical contact is electrically open.
