- The scan tool cooling fan output control operates as follows:
- Cooling Fan Relay 1 operates the fan at a low speed
- Cooling Fan Relay 2 and 3 operates the fan at a medium speed
- Cooling Fan Relay 1, 2 and 3 operates the fan 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 fan 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.
- If the cooling fan operates at high speed when only low speed is commanded ON and the fan operates normally at medium speed, test or replace the KR20D Cooling Fan High Speed Relay.
