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 powertrain DTCs Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview.

1. Check the No. 3-2 (SUB FAN MOTOR) (40 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box, and the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.

Are the fuses OK?

YES -

Go to step 2.

NO -

Replace the fuse(s), and recheck. If the fuse(s) blow again, check for a short in the No. 3-2 (SUB FAN MOTOR) (40 A) fuse or the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse circuits.�

2. Remove the A/C condenser fan relay from the under-hood fuse/relay box, and test it Testing and Inspection.

Is the relay OK?

YES -

Go to step 3.

NO -

Replace the A/C condenser fan relay.�

3. Reinstall the A/C condenser fan relay.

4. Connect the HDS to the DLC.

5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

6. Turn on the A/C.

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

Is the FAN LOW CTRL on?

YES -

Go to step 8.

NO -

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

8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

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), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

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, or between the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse in driver's under-dash fuse/relay box and the under-hood fuse/relay box. If 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), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

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






15. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

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), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

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), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode, then set the A/C button and fan control button ON.

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. Set the A/C button and fan control button OFF, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

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

Is the A/C condenser fan 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. 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 25.

NO -

Replace the relay circuit board.�

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

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

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





Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 28.

NO -

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

28. Disconnect the radiator fan motor 2P connector.

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





Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 30.

NO -

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

30. 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 body ground at G301.�
