Pinpoint Test KF: Fan Control Relays: Introduction
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- CAC fan relay
- fan control (FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4, FC5) relays
- harness circuits: CACCF, LFC, MFC, HFC and VPWR
- PCM (12A650)
Although the PCM output circuits are called LFC, MFC, and HFC, cooling fan operation is controlled by a combination of these outputs.
