quick question guys. have a 2002 LS430. when i push the auto button on my climate control, the fan speed automatically goes to max. i have never let it continue to see if the fan speed goes down as time passes as i reduce fan speed manually which turns off the auto feature. is this normal? thanks!

well that doesn't answer my question at all. see you are also in AZ. when you put auto button on in your car what does your fan do? does it automatically go to max bars/speed?

If you have temp controls set at same as ambient cabin temp the fan will not go to max when you turn on the system in auto mode unless something is broken.
However the fan will immediately go to max if the temp control is turned way down (or way up) from the ambient cabin temp (depending on if it needs heating or cooling to clear the delta). Although I think in the case of heating, even with a high delta between temp setting and ambient cabin temp, it will not go to max fan until the engine is warmed up if the engine is cold.
