Yes
- Go to step 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
- Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.
- RADIATOR FAN HIGH RELAY (20)
- Turn the ignition off.
- Verify the radiator fan high relay (20) and radiator fan high/low control relay (19) are installed properly and that the terminals are making a tight fit.
- Remove the radiator fan high relay (20) and substitute it with a known good relay.
- Start the engine.
- With a scan tool, actuate the high speed fan.
Is the radiator fan operating?
Yes
- Replace the radiator fan high relay (20).
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure .
