Cooling Fan Circuit [08/2020 - ]: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus ES 250, 2023 Lexus ES 250, 2022 Lexus ES 250, and 2021 Lexus ES 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ECM calculates an appropriate cooling fan speed based on the engine coolant temperature, air conditioning switch status, refrigerant pressure, engine speed and vehicle speed, and sends a signal to the cooling fan ECU (fan with motor assembly). The cooling fan ECU (fan with motor assembly) steplessly control the speed of the cooling fan based on the duty cycle signal sent from the ECM. By sending signals to the cooling fan ECU (fan with motor assembly) in accordance with the driving conditions and by controlling the cooling fan speed optimally with the ECM, both high cooling performance and quietness are ensured.
