Circuit/System Testing (LE5)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the 3 cooling fan relays listed below.
- FAN AUX relay
- FAN CNTRL relay
- FAN main relay
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between ground and the appropriate battery voltage circuit terminal 85.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Verify that a test lamp does not illuminate between terminal 85 and terminal 86 of each relay.
- If the test lamp illuminates, test the control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit test normal, replace the ECM.
- Remove the test lamp.
- Ignition ON, command the affected relay ON using a scan tool. Verify the affected scan tool FC Relay Control Ckt. Short Volts Test Status Parameter is OK.
- For the FAN AUX relay, use the scan tool Fan Relay 1 command.
- For the FAN CNTRL and FAN MAIN relays, use the scan tool Relay 2 and 3 command.
- If not the specified value, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between terminal 86 and terminal 85. Command the affected relay ON with a scan tool. Verify the scan tool Relay Control Ckt Short Volts Test Status Parameter is Fault.
- If not the specified value, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits and the ECM test normal, replace the affected relay.
