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 Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.

1. Check the No. 3-8 (SUB FAN MTR) (30 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay.

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. 3-8 (SUB 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 PCM, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good PCM, replace the original PCM Service and Repair.�

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

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

Are the relays OK?

YES -

Go to step 8.

NO -

Replace the relay circuit board.�

8. Reinstall the relay circuit board.

9. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

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

10. Disconnect PCM connector A (49P).

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

12. Measure the voltage between PCM connector A terminal No. 4 and body ground.





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 13.

NO -

Repair an open in the wires between the under-hood fuse/relay box and the PCM. If the wires are OK, replace the under-hood fuse/relay box Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation.�

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

14. Connect PCM connector A (49P) terminal No. 4 to body ground with a jumper wire.






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

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

YES -

Check for loose wires or poor connections at PCM connector A (49P) terminal No. 4. If the connections are good, substitute a known-good PCM, and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original PCM Service and Repair.�

NO -

Go to step 16.

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

17. Disconnect the jumper wire.

18. Reconnect PCM connector A (49P).

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

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

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





Is there battery voltage?

YES -

Go to step 22.

NO -

Repair an open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and the A/C condenser fan motor. If the wire is OK, replace the under-hood fuse/relay box Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box Removal and Installation.�

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

23. Test the A/C condenser fan motor Testing and Inspection.

Is the motor OK?

YES -

Go to step 24.

NO -

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

24. Disconnect the under-hood fuse/relay box connector C (5P).

25. Check for continuity between under-hood fuse/relay box connector C (5P) terminal No. 3 and A/C condenser fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 1.





Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 26.

NO -

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

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

27. Disconnect the radiator fan motor 2P connector.

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





Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 29.

NO -

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

29. Check for continuity between radiator fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES -

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

NO -

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