Maybe it was Chilton'* that I read it in.

Can't grab my FSM'* cuz DrJay has them in Ft. Lewis!

Got ya covered, on the page listed above first paragraph under "Operation" :

Electric cooling fans operate when engine coolant temperature exceeds a certain value. The PCM completes the ground paths for the maxifuse/relay center on the bulkhead. The relay contacts then close and complete the circuit between the 40 maxifuse and the fan motor.

You done copying those manuals yet?

DrJay: i go tthe book open to the page, figuring out what you wanna know tho
me: Might be a false alarm, but I could swear I read about that. Might have been the older Gen covered in my chiltons.
DrJay: posted
DrJay: is that the info you needed?
I'll dig through my Chilton'*. Not sure, but there was something funky on one of the generations like this.

Anyway, just do the override like that topic I linked. Works like a charm. I run hi-speed all the time in the summer. Rarely turn it off.

So its just a ground path .... A resistor wouldnt help I dont think. It may even make it come on later ....
Well POOP ! So much for trying to out engineer GM.

As an afterthought. I may wire in one of the adjustable tstats for Hotrods from Summit.
Then again the PCM may revolt. I don't want to flip a switch, I may spill my coffee. Geeze they make it hard to mod these things.
