You know I hear people talking about this and so far mine (and remember I live in Florida and it gets hot) never comes on when the car is parked, and the car stays cool. So I can't tell you if this is the way is supposed to work, I have to read the manual.

Yea, mine does it all the time now after my accident a while ago. I thought it was not normal, but I did a search and it is.

My old 86 Prelude and my 96 Accord do this. However, I haven't caught the TLS in the act yet!

NO its NOT normal. Unless you're driving in super hot weather and driving heavily.

i took it to the dealer and got it fixed. After a radiator flush it went away.

why would a radiator flush solve the problem of a fan turning on while the engine is off? no disrespect intended, just curious. thanks.
