P0528 - FAN SPEED SENSOR CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) uses the fan speed sensor (FSS) input to monitor the cooling fan clutch speed. If the indicated fan speed is lower than the calibrated value during the key on engine running (KOER) self-test, the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is set.
Possible Causes: 
  • FSS VPWR circuit open in the harness
  • FSS PWRGND circuit open in the harness
  • FSS circuit open in the harness
  • FSS circuit short to voltage or ground in the harness
  • Damaged FSS sensor
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  Visually inspect the cooling fan clutch for damage or obstruction.
