Test Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Suzuki Swift +, 2008 Pontiac Wave, and 2008 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

  1. 4:  This step, along with step 5, checks for the ability of the ECM to operate the cooling fans.
  2. 8:  This step, along with step 9, checks for the ability of the ECM to operate the cooling fans in response to A/C pressure readings.
  3. 16:  After confirming battery voltage and the ECM supplying a ground to the coil side of the cooling fan relay A, by jumpering connector terminals 30 and 87, it will be determined if the relay is at fault or a wiring problem is present.
  4. 31:  This step checks for the presence of battery voltage to the main cooling fan when the A/C is ON. If battery voltage is present and the cooling fans are not operating, the problem is in the ground side of the cooling fan circuit.
  5. 37:  By directly grounding the ECM low relay and high relay control circuits, the main and auxiliary cooling fans should run at high speed.
