Pinpoint Tests Ah: Cooling Fan: Introduction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty, and 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Do not operate the engine with the hood open until the fan blade has been examined for possible cracks and separation. A damaged fan can separate during operation. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
Regeneration may occur during normal operation. During regeneration, diagnostic procedures may display biased values. If a regeneration occurs during diagnostic procedures, allow the process to complete before continuing diagnostics.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- cooling fan (8600)
- cooling fan clutch (8A616)
- fan speed sensor (FSS) (8A616)
- fan control (FC1, FC2) relays
- harness circuits
- PCM (12A650)
