COOLING FAN SYSTEM Cooling Fan Circuit

DTC Code DTC Name
Cooling Fan Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ECM turns on or off the fan relays using signals calculated from the engine coolant temperature, air conditioning switch (on/off), air conditioning refrigerant pressure, engine speed and vehicle speed signals.

The ECM switches the circuit of the cooling fan motors between series and parallel by turning on or off the fan relays in order to control the speed of the cooling fan motors in two steps.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) and initialization (Click here).

  • Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

PROCEDURE

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (Control the Electric Cooling Fan)

    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Electric Cooling Fan.

      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Active Test

      Tester Display

      Control the Electric Cooling Fan

    5. Check the operation of the cooling fan while operating it using the GTS.

      OK
