Cooling Fan Inoperative

  1. If diagnostic system check has not been performed, see DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK . If diagnostic system check has been performed, go to next step.
  2. Install scan tool. Turn ignition on, engine off. Using scan tool, command FANS LOW SPEED on and off. If low speed engine cooling fans turn on and off with each command, go to next step. If low speed engine cooling fans do not turn on and off with each command, go to step  4.
    3. NOTE: Before PCM changes speed of cooling fans, a 3-second delay will occur.
  3. Using scan tool, command FANS HIGH SPEED on and off. If high speed engine cooling fans turn on and off with each command, problem is intermittent. If high speed engine cooling fans do not turn on and off with each command, go to step  11.
    4. NOTE: Following this step, DO NOT remove fused jumper (20-amp) that is connected during this step. While performing the following steps, use a second fused jumper (20-amp).
  4. Remove cooling fan 1 relay. Connect fused jumper (20-amp) between battery voltage circuit of cooling fan 1 relay and cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of cooling fan 1 relay. If both cooling fans operate in low speed, go to step  13. If both cooling fans do not operate in low speed, go to next step.
  5. Disconnect cooling fan 2 relay. Connect a second fused jumper (20-amp) between left cooling fan low reference circuit of cooling fan 2 relay and right cooling fan supply voltage circuit of cooling fan 2 relay. If both cooling fans operate in low speed, go to step  14. If both cooling fans do not operate in low speed, go to next step.
  6. Connect second fused jumper (20-amp) between battery voltage circuit of cooling fan 2 relay and cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of cooling fan 2 relay. If right cooling fan operates in high speed, go to step  9. If right cooling fan does not operate in high speed, go to next step.
  7. Install cooling fan 2 relay. Disconnect right cooling fan electrical connector. Connect second fused jumper (20-amp) between terminals of right cooling fan motor harness connector. If left cooling fan operates in high speed, go to step  16. If left cooling fan does not operate in high speed, go to next step.
  8. Connect second fused jumper (20-amp) between cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit (White wire) of right cooling fan electrical connector and ground. If left cooling fan operates in high speed, go to step  20. If left cooling fan does not operate in high speed, go to step  21.
  9. Install cooling fan 2 relay. Disconnect left cooling fan electrical connector. Connect second fused jumper (20-amp) wire between terminals of left cooling fan motor harness connector. If right cooling fan operates in high speed, go to step  17. If cooling fan does not operate in high speed, go to next step.
  10. Connect second fused jumper (20-amp) between battery voltage and left cooling fan low circuit (Gray wire) of left cooling fan connector. If right cooling fan operates in high speed, go to step  18. If right cooling fan does not operate in high speed, go to step  22.
  11. If right cooling fan operates in high speed, go to next step. If right cooling fan does not operate in high speed, go to step  15.
  12. Disconnect cooling fan 2 relay. Connect fused jumper (20-amp) between left cooling fan low reference circuit of cooling fan 2 relay and ground circuit of cooling fan 2 relay. If left cooling fan operates properly in high speed, go to step  14. If left cooling fan does not operate properly in high speed, go to step  19.
  13. Check cooling fan 1 relay connector for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  28. If problem was not found, go to step  23.
  14. Check cooling fan 2 relay connector for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  28. If problem was not found, go to step  24.
  15. Check cooling fan 3 relay connector for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  28. If problem was not found, go to step  25.
  16. Check right cooling fan connector for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  28. If problem was not found, go to step  26.
  17. Check left cooling fan connector for poor connections. If problem was found, repair as necessary. After repairs, go to step  28. If problem was not found, go to step  27.
  18. Repair left cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit (White wire). After repairs, go to step  28.
  19. Repair left cooling fan ground circuit. After repairs, go to step  28.
  20. Repair right cooling fan ground circuit (Black wire). After repairs, go to step  28.
  21. Repair right cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit (White wire). After repairs, go to step  28.
  22. Repair left cooling fan low reference circuit (Gray wire). After repairs, go to step  28.
  23. Replace cooling fan 1 relay. After repairs, go to step  28.
  24. Replace cooling fan 2 relay. After repairs, go to step  28.
  25. Replace cooling fan 3 relay. After repairs, go to step  28.
  26. Replace right cooling fan. After repairs, go to step  28.
  27. Replace left cooling fan. After repair, go to next step.
  28. Operate system to verify repair.
