The Reduced Engine Power indicator illuminates only if the PCM detects that the cooling fan clutch is locked up. The PCM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the second consecutive trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed. The PCM will store the conditions as Freeze Frame/Failure Records data. The PCM commands the cooling fan clutch to 100 percent.
