Pinpoint Test KF: Fan Control Relays: Introduction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 27 other vehicles, including the 2021 Ford F-150, 2020 Lincoln Navigator, 2020 Lincoln Nautilus, 2020 Lincoln MKZ, and 2020 Lincoln Corsair. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

CAC fan relay
fan control (FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4, FC5) relays
harness circuits: CACCF, FGC, 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.

COOLING FAN STATE

	PCM Output	Low Speed	Medium Speed	High Speed
Vehicles With 5 Fan Control Relays	LFC	ON	ON	ON
	MFC	OFF	ON	ON
	HFC	OFF	OFF	ON
All Others	LFC	ON	N/A	ON
	HFC	OFF	N/A	ON
