I followed it and the Cooling Fan Fault still appears....??
"What does it mean to re-entered Diagnostics....???"
How do I re-enter this....??
ANSWER: You did NOT follow the proper procedure for clearing the BCM codes. Here it is:

1. Ignition ON, Engine OFF.

2. Simultaneously push and hold the OFF and WARMER buttons on your climate control panel for 3 seconds and release them.

3. CODES will appear along with the word CURRENT or HISTORY with each code displayed on the fuel data panel.

4. The display will stop at ECM.

5. Push and release the HI button and you will see BCM?

6. Keep pushing and releasing the LO button until you see BCM CLEAR CODES?

7. Push and release the HI button and you will see BCM CODES CLEAR.

8. Wait 3 seconds and turn ignition OFF.

9. Wait 2 minutes and  repeat steps 1 thru 4.

Let me know what codes appaear and if the code is CURRENT or HISTORY which will display with each code that displays.

QUESTION: I did above recommended procedure to erase codes twice. Previously it said B442,B552.  Then it said NO BCM CODES.
The car with A/C on has reoccurring COOLING FAN FAULT messages  after I cleared the BCM Codes.  The fan is working fine and the A/C is cold. This message will disappear within 30-40 seconds...Do I have an actual COOLING FAN FAULT or maybe sometyhing else..
Thanks for helping

Answer
Let the car run or drive itr close to home for awhile and see if the B441 code re-appaers as a HISTORY or CURRENT code and let me know. The most common fault would be with the COOLING FAN CONTROL MODULE and or the COOLING FAN RELAY.
