Radiator and A/C Condenser Fan Low Speed Circuit Troubleshooting




Radiator and A/C Condenser Fan Low Speed Circuit Troubleshooting

NOTE:

- Do not use this troubleshooting procedure if the A/C compressor is inoperative. Refer to the symptom troubleshooting index.
- Before doing symptom troubleshooting, check for PGM-FI DTCs.

1. Check the No. 3-6 (MAIN FAN MTR) (30 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box.

Is the fuse OK?

YES -

Go to step 2.

NO -

Replace the fuse, and recheck. If the fuse blow again, check for a short in the No. 3-6 (MAIN FAN MTR) (30 A) fuse circuit.�

2. Connect the HDS to the DLC.

3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

4. Turn on the A/C.

5. Check the FAN LOW CTRL in the PGM-FI Data List with the HDS.

Is the FAN LOW CTRL on?

YES -

Go to step 6.

NO -

Substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM Service and Repair.�

6. Remove the radiator fan relay from the under-hood fuse/relay box, and test it Testing and Inspection.

Is the relay OK?

YES -

Go to step 7.

NO -

Replace the radiator fan relay.�

7. Measure the voltage between radiator fan relay 4P socket terminal No. 1 and body ground.





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 8.

NO -

Replace the under-hood fuse/relay box Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation.�

8. Connect radiator fan relay 4P socket terminals No. 1 and No. 2 with a jumper wire.





Do the radiator and A/C condenser fans run on low?

YES -

Go to step 9.

NO -

Go to step 18.

9. Disconnect the jumper wire.

10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

11. Measure the voltage between radiator fan relay 4P socket terminal No. 4 and body ground.





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 12.

NO -

Go to step 34.

12. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

13. Reinstall the radiator fan relay.

14. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

NOTE: This step must be done to protect the ECM/PCM from damage.

15. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (49P).

16. Connect ECM/PCM connector A (49P) terminal No. 5 to body ground with a jumper.





17. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

Do the A/C condenser and radiator fans run on low?

YES -

Check for a loose wire or poor connection at ECM/PCM connector A (49P) terminal No. 5. If the connection is good, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original ECM/PCM Service and Repair.�

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the radiator fan relay and the ECM/PCM.�

18. Disconnect the jumper wire.

19. Reinstall the radiator fan relay.

20. Disconnect the radiator fan motor 2P connector.

21. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then turn on the A/C.

22. Measure the voltage between radiator fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 24.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the radiator fan relay and the radiator fan motor.�

23. Turn off the A/C, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

24. Test the radiator fan motor.

Is the radiator fan motor OK?

YES -

Go to step 25.

NO -

Replace the radiator fan motor Radiator and A/C Condenser Fan, Motor, and Shroud Removal and Installation.�

25. Disconnect under-hood fuse/relay box connector B (14P).

26. Check for continuity between under-hood fuse/relay box connector B (14P) terminal No. 11 and radiator fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 1.





Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 27.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and the radiator fan motor.�

27. Reconnect under-hood fuse/relay box connector B (14P) and the radiator fan motor 2P connector.

28. Remove the relay circuit board Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation from the under-hood fuse/relay box, and test the fan control relay Testing and Inspection.

Is the relay OK?

YES -

Go to step 29.

NO -

Replace the relay circuit board.�

29. Reinstall the relay circuit board.

30. Disconnect the A/C condenser fan motor 2P connector.

31. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then set the A/C button and fan control button ON.

32. Measure the voltage between the A/C condenser fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 33.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and the A/C condenser fan motor.�

33. Check for continuity between the A/C condenser fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES -

Replace the A/C condenser fan motor Radiator and A/C Condenser Fan, Motor, and Shroud Removal and Installation.�

NO -

Check for an open in the wire between the A/C condenser fan motor and body ground. If the wire is OK, check for poor ground at G301.�

34. Measure the voltage between under-hood fuse/relay box connector B (14P) terminal No. 10 and body ground.





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Repair an open in the wire between under-hood fuse/relay box connector B (14P) terminal No.10 and the radiator fan relay socket.�

NO -

Replace the relay circuit board Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation.�
