Diagnostic Procedure

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
2 INSPECT COOLING FAN RELAY NO. 2 AND NO. 3 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Remove the cooling fan relay No. 2 and No. 3.
  • Inspect the cooling fan relay No. 2 and No. 3.

    (See RELAY INSPECTION .)

  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Replace the cooling fan relay No. 2 and/or No. 3, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT COOLING FAN RELAY NO. 2 AND NO. 3 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND OR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Cooling fan relay No. 2 and No. 3 are removed.
  • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Cooling fan relay No. 2 terminal A
    • Cooling fan relay No. 3 terminal A
  • Is the voltage B+  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the ENG+B 10 A fuse.
  • If the fuse is blown:
    • Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.
    • Replace the fuse.
  • If the fuse is deteriorated:
    • Replace the fuse.
  • If the fuse is normal:
    • Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit.

Go to Step 8.
4 INSPECT COOLING FAN RELAY NO. 2 AND NO. 3 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
  • Cooling fan relay No. 2 and No. 3 are removed.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • Cooling fan relay No. 2 terminal E
    • Cooling fan relay No. 3 terminal E
  • Is there continuity?
Yes If the short to ground circuit could be detected:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.

If the short to ground circuit could not be detected:


Go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
5 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Disconnect the PCM connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT COOLING FAN RELAY NO. 2 AND NO. 3 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • Cooling fan relay No. 2 and No. 3 are removed.
  • Verify that the PCM connector is disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).
  • Measure the voltage at the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Cooling fan relay No. 2 terminal E
    • Cooling fan relay No. 3 terminal E
  • Is there any voltage?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 8.
No Go to the next step.
7 INSPECT COOLING FAN RELAY NO. 2 AND NO. 3 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Cooling fan relay No. 2 and No. 3 are removed.
  • Verify that the PCM connector is disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
    • Cooling fan relay No. 2 terminal E-PCM terminal 1R
    • Cooling fan relay No. 3 terminal E-PCM terminal 1R
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to the next step.
8 VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED 
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.

    (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE .)

  • Perform the KOEO or KOER self test.

    (See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST .)

  • Is the same DTC present?
Yes Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
Go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
9 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE  Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE .)
No DTC troubleshooting completed.
