  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, command the Fans Low Speed ON and OFF.
Do the low speed engine cooling fans turn ON and OFF with each command?
Go to Step 3  Go to Step 4 
3
IMPORTANT: Before the powertrain control module (PCM) changes the speed of the cooling fans, a 3-second delay will occur.
With a scan tool, command the Fans High Speed ON and OFF.Do the high speed engine cooling fans turn ON and OFF with each command?
Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems Go to Step 11

IMPORTANT: Following this step, do NOT remove the 20-amp fused jumper wire that is connected during this step. While performing the following steps, use a second 20-amp fused jumper wire.
  1. Remove the cooling fan 1 relay.
  2. Connect a 20-amp fused jumper between the battery positive voltage circuit of the cooling fan 1 relay and the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the cooling fan 1 relay.
Do both cooling fans operate in low speed?
Go to Step 13  Go to Step 5

  1. Disconnect the cooling fan relay.
  2. Connect the second 20-amp fused jumper between the right cooling fan low reference circuit of the cooling fan relay and the left cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the cooling fan relay.
Do both cooling fans operate in low speed?
Go to Step 14  Go to Step 6 
6 Connect a 20-amp fused jumper between the battery positive voltage circuit of the cooling fan relay and the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the cooling fan relay.
Does the left cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 9  Go to Step 7

  1. Install the cooling fan relay.
  2. Disconnect the left cooling fan electrical connector.
  3. Connect the second 20-amp fused jumper wire from the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the left cooling fan electrical connector to the ground circuit of the left cooling fan electrical connector.
Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 16  Go to Step 8 
8 Connect a 20-amp fused jumper wire from the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the left cooling fan electrical connector to a good ground.
Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 20  Go to Step 21 
9
  1. Install the cooling fan relay.
  2. Disconnect the right cooling fan electrical connector.
  3. Connect the second 20-amp fused jumper wire from the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the right cooling fan electrical connector to the cooling fan low reference circuit of the right cooling fan electrical connector.
Does the left cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 17  Go to Step 10 
10 Connect a 20-amp fused jumper wire from battery positive voltage to the cooling fan low reference circuit of the right cooling electrical connector.
Does the left cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 18  Go to Step 22 
11 Is the left cooling fan operating properly in high speed? Go to Step 12  Go to Step 15 
12
  1. Disconnect the cooling fan relay.
  2. Connect the second 20-amp fused jumper between the cooling fan low reference circuit of the cooling fan relay and the ground circuit of the cooling fan relay.
Does the right cooling fan operate properly in high speed?
