Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. RADIATOR COOLING FAN MODULE OPERATION 
    1. Ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, select Radiator Cooling Fan Relay #1 Control State to actuate the Cooling Fan (Low/High).

      Is the one Cooling Fan operating?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  2.
  2. (N201) LOW/HIGH RAD FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn the ignition on, engine not running.
    2. With a scan tool, select Radiator Cooling Fan Relay 1 Control State, Toggle, to actuate the Cooling Fan (Low/High).
    3. Using a 12-volt test light connected to battery voltage, probe the (N201) Low/High Rad Fan Control circuit in the Low/High Rad Relay terminal.

      Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on and off during the actuation?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  3.
  3. (N201) LOW/HIGH RAD FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN 
    1. Measure the resistance of the (N201) Low/High Rad Fan Control circuit from the PCM C1 harness connector to the (N201) Low/High Rad Fan Control circuit in the Low/High Rad Relay terminal.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  4.

      No 

      • Repair the open in the (N201) Low/High Rad Fan Control circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    1. Measure the resistance between ground and the (N201) Low/High Rad Fan Control circuit in the PCM C1 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 100 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the short to ground in the (N201) Low/High Rad Fan Control circuit.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
