I realize after checking the owners manual that it is completely normal for the cooling fan to continue running on shutdown to "quickly cool the engine compartment", but I am a little surprised that it is happening at such low ambient temperatures. Twice in the last two days, when turning off my vehicle inside of the garage after 15 minutes or so of local driving, the cooling fan continued to run, and the outside temperature was only in the 60's. The first time it happened I quickly restarted the car to get a quick look at the temp gauge, which was in the normal range. I also checked the coolant level, which is also normal. I'm guessing if it is happening now with the temperature in the 60s, it will likely be a regular occurrence in the summer. I have a Kiwi3 OBDll device that I may plug in to see if I can get an accurate read of engine temp on shut down just to make sure the car is not overheating but that brings up another question. I've read some threads (not necessarily on Mazdas) where people reported odd electrical system occurrences when using OBDll devices. Is there any reason I should be concerned about plugging an OBDll device in on my new CX-5?
