Yes it does, if the engine temp doesn't climb at the rate the ECU expects then it will turn on the fan as a fail safe, this means that with a stat that's stuck open your end up over cooling an already cold engine! - Been there, done it, only on mine it did thow a fault code (P0115) which was picked up with a generic OBD-II reader - Mike
