Good morning everyone,

i had a strange issue last night. When I pulled into the garage and turned the car off I noticed the cooling fans stayed on (they may have even turned on after I turned the car off?). The thing that puzzles me is, it was 17 degrees when I got home last night, so I'm surprised they where on at all. Another odd thing is I've never heard these fans run since I got this car. (I've had it since the beginning of October) should I be concerned? My wife commented that she thought she smelled something burning, but couldn't swear to it. I must confess, I'm battling a cold, so I can't smell anything. I checked under the hood and everything appears fine. Any thoughts? Car currently has 6,000 miles

2013s and newer have an ECM calibration that does this in an effort to reduce oil coking in the turbocharger.

While that makes sense to me, why hasn't it done it before? Why now when it's so cold out?

Just checked.... No leaks and the tank is full. I was wondering if maybe the grill shutters malfunctioned and stayed closed?

I just had this happen to me a few days ago too. I honestly didn't think much of it.

Yeah, I normally wouldn't either since I know cars do this from time to time. But since this one has never done it, I was just a little concerned.

I'll just keep an eye in it I suppose. Thanks for the help everyone

Well, for those of you who said regen, you are correct. I'm off work today and took the diesel in for its first service. He guys at the dealer told me that's what was happening. Thank you for all your help! Now I just have to wait for them to get the oil filter in so they can change the oil.

Mine did the same thing the other day. Also you can definitely smell it, I was a little nervous but I figured that is what it was.

x2 on the smell. Like I mentioned earlier, my wife thought she smelled something when it did it. I have a cold at the moment so I can't smell squat. Haha
