The linear pressure sensor of the refrigerant fluid fitted on the condenser supplies a voltage proportional to the pressure in the air conditioning circuit and transmits this information to the BSI on the CAN IS network.

Wow! #-o
All now clear though: both coolant temp and refrigerant pressure are being sensed.

Hey guys,

I bought one of those ELM327 bluetooth readers on Amazon. I'll hook it up and I'll log the temp on one of these heavy traffic runs. I suspect what GiveMeABreak said that it's just not reached the fan temp setpoint. I'll keep ye updated.
