Product Details
The Gates Engine Cooling Fan Module line focuses on precise electronic control for vehicles that rely on electric cooling fans instead of direct mechanical fan drive. On Tesla S applications, the module helps manage fan operation based on cooling demand, supporting consistent coolant temperature control and efficient system operation. This Gates FCM181 is a direct-fit cooling control component for 2012-2020 Tesla S and 2021 Tesla S models built on or before January 31, 2021.
This part cross-references 600895300B and 600895300D for the same application.
What It Helps Solve
- Cooling fan operation that is stuck on or not responding correctly
- Irregular fan speed control
- Engine coolant temperature fluctuations
- Cooling system performance issues tied to module failure
- Electrical control faults in the fan circuit
Installation Notes
Verify connector style, mounting space, and vehicle build date before installation. This module uses a female 3-connector interface and does not include a wire harness. Confirm the Tesla S application matches the listed year range and the January 31, 2021 cutoff for 2021 vehicles.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this cooling fan module as part of its Engine Cooling Fan Module product line for controlled electric fan operation in supported Tesla S applications.
Compatible With 2012-2020 Tesla S and 2021 Tesla S, Jan. 31, 2021 & older.
