Coolant Fan Control (FC)Control Module J293, speed "1" + "2" (observe notes)
  • The operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255 transmits the request for activation of the Coolant Fan V7 (via the CAN-Bus system) to the relevant engine control module. Activation changes constantly within approx. 10 to 30 seconds between 0% and 30 to 100% of maximum speed (depending on engine control unit).
  • By way of the Coolant Fan Control (FC)Control Module J293 and with the engine running, the relevant engine control module switches the fan from 0% to 30 to 100% of the Coolant Fan V7 speed (depending on engine control unit).
  • The Coolant Fan V7 speed changes depending on activation (from "Off" to the "maximum speed" requested by the engine control module).
  • Check DTC memory of operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255. Malfunctions should not be displayed → Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Memory, checking (function 02) .
  • Check DTC memory of relevant engine control module and check activation of Coolant Fan V7 by engine control unit via Coolant Fan Control (FC)Control Module J293 "Guided Fault-Finding" Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing Info. System VAS5051B or Vehicle Diagnosis Service Syst. VAS5052.
  • Check power supply and Ground (GND) connection to Coolant Fan Control (FC)Control Module J293 and to Coolant Fan V7.
NOTE:
  • Start the engine if activation of the Coolant Fan V7 must be checked. The relevant engine control module only switches on the Coolant Fan V7 when the engine is running.
  • The request for activation of the Coolant Fan V7 is transmitted via the CAN-Bus comfort system by the operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255 to the Instrument Cluster Control Module J285. The Instrument Cluster Control Module J285 (gateway) then transmits the request to the drive CAN-Bus system to which the relevant engine control module is connected. By means of a square-wave signal, the engine control module subsequently activates the Coolant Fan Control (FC)Control Module J293 and the Coolant Fan Control (FC)Control Module J293 switches on the Coolant Fan V7.
  • Depending on the version of the operating and display module, Climatronic Control Module J255, the Coolant Fan V7 is either activated in speeds "1" and "2" in one test step or switching may be necessary for activation of speed "2".
