Abstract
A method for controlling a fan. An ECU estimates the time for an engine to reach a substantially decreased engine load relative to a current engine load. The ECU determines whether the time to reach the substantially decreased engine load is within a threshold. And the ECU controls a fan operating characteristic based on whether the time is within the threshold.
