Diagnostic Aids
- The scan tool cooling fan output control operates as follows:
- Cooling Fan Relay 1 operates both fans at a low speed
- Cooling Fan Relays 2 and 3 operates one fan at a high speed
- Cooling Fan Relays 1, 2 and 3 operates both fans at a high speed
- Certain resistance conditions with IAT or ECT sensors may cause unwarranted cooling fan activation. If the ECM is commanding the cooling fans ON for no apparent reason and without any component or system DTCs set, the IAT or ECT sensor may be skewed. If this condition is suspected, refer to the temperature versus resistance tables in the appropriate Engine Controls subsection.
