Sebring Convertible, Sebring Sedan & Stratus Sedan - 2001 (Low Speed Fan Control Relay Circuit)

NOTE: For circuit identification and wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, PCM must be reprogrammed. See PROGRAMMING in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE. After each repair procedure has been completed, reconnect all components. To ensure system is functioning properly, perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5 under VERIFICATION TESTS in appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
  1. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, actuate low speed radiator fan relay. Locate low speed radiator fan relay in Power Distribution Center (PDC). If low speed radiator fan relay cycles on and off, go to next step. If low speed radiator fan relay does not cycle on and off, stop relay actuation and go to step  4 .
  2. Ensure low speed radiator fan relay is still actuated. Wiggle wiring harness from low speed radiator fan relay PCM. PCM is located in engine compartment, to left of air cleaner. If low speed radiator fan relay actuation is interrupted, repair connector or wiring harness where wiggling caused interruption. If no problems were found, go to next step.
  3. Conditions that set DTC are not present at this time. Perform the following to help identify intermittent condition:
    • With engine running at normal operating temperature, wiggle related wiring harness while monitoring related parameters on scan tool. If voltage changes or DTC sets while wiggling wiring harness, repair connectors or wiring harness where wiggling caused voltage to change or DTC to set.
    • Review freeze frame information on scan tool. Duplicate conditions present when DTC was set.
    • Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that may apply.
    • Visually inspect related wiring harness. Check for chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
    • Visually inspect related wiring harness connectors. Check for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.

    If a problem is found, repair as necessary. If no problems are found, test is complete.

  4. Turn ignition off. Remove low speed radiator fan relay from PDC. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and fused ignition switch output circuit (Dark Blue/White wire) at terminal No. 71 at low speed radiator fan relay harness connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If voltage is more than 11 volts, go to next step. If voltage is 11 volts or less, repair open or short in fused ignition switch output circuit.
  5. Measure resistance of low speed radiator fan relay coil. If resistance is 60-80 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not 60-80 ohms, replace low speed radiator fan relay.
  6. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connectors. PCM is located in engine compartment, to left of air cleaner. Measure resistance of control circuit (Dark Blue/Tan wire) between terminal No. 70 at low speed radiator fan relay harness connector and terminal No. 55 at PCM C2 harness connector. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open in Dark Blue/Tan wire.
  7. Measure resistance between ground and control circuit (Dark Blue/Tan wire) at terminal No. 70 at low speed radiator fan relay harness connector. If resistance is 5 ohms or more, go to next step. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, repair short to ground in Dark Blue/Tan wire.
  8. If no other possible causes are remaining, replace PCM.
