Hi,
There are two relays that are controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that are responsible for controlling the cooling fans. The PCM will switch the relays on and off depending on certain conditions, such as engine temperature and whether or not the air conditioning compressor is turned on.
I have included a link to a site that describes the way that the cooling system works on these vans, which goes into a good amount of detail.
Good Luck, Greg
The guage goes up when the vehicle is overheating. Possibilities to start checking are: air pocket in cooling system, sending unit is defective, cooling fan not working, guage is broken, head gasket leak, cooling system leak.
NO it will not, It has NOTHING to do with the cooling system whatsoever.
pop the radiater cap off and let the van engine run for 30 minutes. this will burp out any air in the cooling system and your engine will not overheat then. afterwards, fill the radiater back up as needed.
It probley has an AIR pocket in the cooling system. Bleed the air out of the system and make sure it is full of fluid.
need to reset obc after replacing water pump and temp sending unit, had battery disconected during replacment , purged air out cooling system, sending unit sending correct voltage.
Check the vans entire cooling system including the temp sending unit, cooling fan, thermostat an water pump. One of these is probably bad and needs replacing.
When the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap, top off with a 50/50 mix, and start the engine. This will allow air to escape from the radiator. It may also have bleeder valves located high on the cooling system. The location will be listed in your owner's manual.

The cooling system.
An average life of a system cooling device is around 10 to 15 years. This is with cont use of the system cooling device, if you do not use the cooling system then you can prolong your cooling system for a couple more years.
You will need to remove the anti-freeze from your 1997 Chevrolet Venture cooling system. Remove the water lines from the heater core. Remove the heater core retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new heater core.
If there is no cooling system, the engin will overheat.
