GMC Envoy · 2002–2009
The electronically controlled fan clutch fails, causing overheating in traffic or at low speeds. The Envoy uses a clutch-type fan rather than electric fans, and the electronic control module in the clutch is the weak point.
Common Symptoms
- Overheating in traffic
- Temperature gauge climbs at idle
- Fan runs at full speed constantly
- A/C performance poor at idle
How to Fix
Replace fan clutch assembly (Hayden 3262). Some owners upgrade to a dual electric fan conversion for more reliable cooling. Ensure coolant system is flushed and thermostat is functioning properly.

Frequently asked questions
What does P0495 mean?
P0495 stands for "Fan Speed High." This code indicates the engine computer (PCM) has detected that the cooling fan is running faster than commanded, or at high speed when it should not be. The PCM monitors the cooling fan's operation and compares actual fan speed or current draw against expected values. While it usually does not leave you stranded, a fan stuck running high can drain the battery and points to an electrical control fault in the cooling system.
What are the most common causes of P0495?
The most common causes of P0495 are: Faulty cooling fan relay stuck closed, Short to power in the fan control circuit, Failed fan control module or PCM driver, Damaged or corroded wiring/connectors at the fan, Faulty cooling fan motor, Engine coolant temperature sensor sending false high readings. The specific cause varies by vehicle.
