DTC P1479: High Fan Control Primary Circuit

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 24 other vehicles, including the 2013 Lincoln Navigator, 2013 Lincoln MKZ, 2013 Lincoln MKX, 2013 Lincoln MKT, and 2013 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P1479: HIGH FAN CONTROL PRIMARY CIRCUIT

Description:  The PCM monitors the high fan control (HFC) primary circuit output. The test fails if the HFC output commanded on (grounded), excessive current draw is detected on the HFC circuit or, with the HFC circuit commanded off, voltage is not detected on the HFC circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage through the HFC relay coil to the HFC circuit).
Possible Causes: 
  • VPWR circuit open to the HFC relay
  • Damaged HFC relay
  • HFC circuit open
  • HFC circuit short to ground
Diagnostic Aids:  When the HFCF PID reads YES, a concern is present.
An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected when the PCM is not grounding the HFC circuit.
A short to voltage can only be detected when the PCM is grounding the HFC circuit.
During the key ON engine OFF (KOEO) and key ON engine running (KOER) self-test, the HFC circuit is cycled ON and OFF.
