Diagnostic Test
- 1) RADIATOR COOLING FAN MODULE OPERATION
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, actuate the Low Speed Cooling Fan.
Is the Cooling Fan operating?
Yes
- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
No
- Go To 2).
- 2) (A16) FUSED B+ CIRCUIT
Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Radiator Cooling Fan Module harness connector.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (A16) Fused B+ circuit in the Radiator Cooling Fan Module harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 3).
No
- Repair the (A16) Fused B+ circuit. Inspect the related fuse and repair as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
- 3) (Z903) GROUND CIRCUIT
Using a 12-volt test light connected to battery voltage, probe the (Z903) Ground circuit in the Radiator Cooling Fan Module harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly?
Yes
- Go To 4).
No
- Repair the (Z903) Ground circuits.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
- 4) LOW SPEED RAD FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT
Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, actuate the Low Speed Cooling Fan.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to battery voltage, probe the (N201) Low Speed Rad Fan Control circuit in the Radiator Cooling Fan Module harness connector.
Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on and off?
Yes
- Replace the Radiator Cooling Fan Module.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE - POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST) .
No
- Go To 5).
