To bear in mind in respect of On Board Diagnostics:

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Relays are sometimes involved. The control module is only able to check that everything is OK in its own circuit, i.e. via the relay winding. This tells you nothing about how the fuel pump or radiator fan is working.
