RADIATOR COOLING FAN MODULE OPERATION
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With a scan tool, actuate both the Radiator Cooling Fan Relays No. 1 and No. 2.
  Are both cooling fan operating at medium speed?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Go To 2
CHECK THE (N112) RADIATOR FAN RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the Radiator Fan High Speed Relay.
3. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
  CAUTION:
  Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install the GPEC Diagnostic Adaptor to perform the diagnosis.
4. Connect the (special tool #10436, Adapter, GPEC Diagnostic).
5. Measure the resistance of the (N112) Radiator Fan Relay Control circuit from the High Radiator Fan Relay harness connector to the GPEC Adaptor.
  Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Repair the (N112) Radiator Fan Relay Control circuit for an open or high resistance.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
CHECK THE (N112) RADIATOR FAN RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (N112) Radiator Fan Relay Control circuit in the GPEC Adaptor.
  Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (N112) Radiator Fan Relay Control circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
  No
  - Replace the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the service information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
