Circuit/System Testing (LCS)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector X1 at the cooling fan control module.
- Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition voltage circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.
- Test for 3-4 V between the control circuit terminal 4 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for an open. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Command the cooling fan ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from 3-4 V when commanded OFF to less than 1 V, when commanded ON.
- If the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, test the control circuit for a high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the cooling fan control module.
