check to see if your fan clutch is plugged up. if it is, your fan clutch has gone bad.

your fan clutch is electronic. you have a connector coming from the side of it.

i dont think so. the fan clutch is not that hard to replace, just no room to work. i would suggest removing the radiator as it makes it much easier. other than that, replacing the clutch is not bad all.

I have changed quite a few of these fan clutches for no-start conditions in the past, and seem to recall them not being covered by diesel engine warranty.

I might add that I have seen P0528 several times, and tend to disregard that code if it is not accompanied by a cooling system problem. It is not a code that will generate a CEL.
