It can but you don't have to run it either. You can wire up the FAL fans to the stock wiring so it'll come on like the stock fans. With the FAL control module you can set the temperature to come on anywhere from 160-240 degrees. It came with the car and I don't really need it. It's the same one here: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FLX-30332/
