Oh, sorry, I misread. The fan *shouldn't* run after the engine is shut off. At least not normally. The only time that it does is usually when the ECT had failed, or is out of spec.

I'm confused. Does coolant spew out of the reservoir, or not?

Maybe there is a difference between the 98 and 99-00 models in how the fan operates. My 2000 V70R the fan is designed to run on based on the under hood temps. Only does it when it is really warm.

I'm running 98MY ECUs in both of our '97's and the fan shuts off every time we turn the cars off. The only time I recall them running after the car has been shut down was when the ECT sensor died.

ME7 on 1999- does run differently. There are several conditions which will give after-run on the cooling fan
