Diagnostic Test

  1. RADIATOR COOLING FAN MODULE OPERATION 
    NOTE: The DTC must not be active for the actuator test to operate properly, clear all DTC before continuing.
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, select Radiator Cooling Fan #1 Control State to actuate the Cooling Fan (Low Speed).

      Is the Cooling Fan operating?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  2
  2. (A16) FUSED B+ CIRCUIT

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the Radiator Cooling Fan Module harness connector.
    3. 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 step  3

      No 

  3. LOW SPEED RAD FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, select Radiator Cooling Fan #1 Control State, Toggle, to actuate the Cooling Fan (Low Speed).
    3. 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 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (N201) LOW SPEED RAD FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

    1. Disconnect the TIPM C11 harness connector.
    2. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage of the (N201) Low Speed Rad Fan Control circuit in the Radiator Cooling Fan Module harness connector.

      Is there voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (N201) LOW SPEED RAD FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN

    1. Measure the resistance of the (N201) Low Speed Fan Control circuit from the Radiator Cooling Fan Module harness connector to the TIPM C11 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  6

      No 

  6. (N201) LOW SPEED RAD FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (N201) Low Speed Fan Control circuit in the TIPM C11 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

      Yes 

      No
