    fans on all the time when log through a/c switch

    like the title reads, is there a way to stop the pcm (05 silverado ss pcm) from turning the fans on when logging the w/b through the a/c switch?

    Did you try setting the AC Fans disable speed to 0?

    Don't those fans come on any time you energize the A/C switch? I think it's what they are supposed to do, so you may just have to pull fuses or something.

    You mean A/C pressure sensor?
    It is normal to have the high speed Fans on when A/C pressure reads high, because it's trying to cool the system down to prevent a failure.
    Hooking WB to A/C tells the PCM the pressure is too high and tries to lower it cooling it.

    I have never logged through A/C because I have a pro interface, but I think you can disable a few things to avoid that then turn them back on when you finish.
