P0694: Cooling Fan 2 Control Circuit High
What to do
Driveable, but watch the temperature gauge in traffic and when towing. If the air conditioning has also stopped working when stationary, mention it — often the same circuit.
What this code means
The second cooling fan control circuit is reading high — an open, or a relay coil that has failed. The cooling reserve is lost, which shows up when towing, in heavy traffic, or with the air conditioning running hard.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
