If you have access to hptuners (a tuner), tuning the fan is very easy .
It would be normal for the fan not to run immediately with ac. It takes a few ac compressor cycles to build pressure in the system to 170 psi. As for without ac, the alpha wont go to 102 just idling.
Thanks @amrg for the clarity on the normal operation of the fans. This makes a lot of sense.

After driving the car 20km's with the AC on yesterday, I quickly got out to check if the fans were on, when idling in traffic and they were not.

I think I need to firstly try and check to make sure the wiring looks ok / ensure the fans are working first.

If they are working, then I will check on the flashing. It was done by a Hummer specialist, but this is the Wild Wild East so who knows if they did it correctly!

Thanks @amrg for the clarity on the fan PSI.

After driving 20k's or so yesterday with the AC on, I checked to see if the fans were on when idling, but they were still not.

I guess I need to try the following;

1 - Check the fan wiring and test the fan to check it is still working by hooking it up to another power source.

2 - If step 1 doesn't resolve the issue, I will check with the Hummer specialists who flashed it. It was so say done by experts, but this is Wild Wild East.... so who knows!!\

Thank you
