  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. With a scan tool, command the Fans Control 1 ON and OFF.
Do the low speed engine cooling fans turn ON and OFF with each command?
Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5

    IMPORTANT: Do NOT remove the 20-amp fused jumper wire connected during this step. Use a second 20-amp fused jumper wire while performing the following steps.
  1. Disconnect the cooling fan 1 relay.
  2. Connect the first 20-amp fused jumper between the battery positive voltage circuit of the cooling fan 1 relay and the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the cooling fan 1 relay.
Do both cooling fans operate in low speed?
Go to Step 14  Go to Step 6

  1. Disconnect the cooling fan 3 relay
  2. Connect the second 20-amp fused jumper between the left cooling fan motor low reference circuit of the cooling fan 2 relay and the right cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the cooling fan 2 relay.
Do both cooling fans operate in low speed?
Go to Step 15  Go to Step 7 
7 Reconnect the second 20-amp fused jumper between the battery positive voltage circuit of the cooling fan 2 relay and the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the cooling fan 2 relay.
Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 10  Go to Step 8

  1. Install the cooling fan 2 relay.
  2. Disconnect the right cooling fan electrical connector.
  3. Reconnect the second 20-amp fused jumper wire from the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the right cooling fan electrical connector to the cooling fan motor ground circuit of the right cooling fan electrical connector.
Does the left cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 17  Go to Step 9 
9 Reconnect the second 20-amp fused jumper wire from the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the right cooling fan electrical connector to a good ground.
Does the left cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 21  Go to Step 22 
10
  1. Install the cooling fan 2 relay.
  2. Disconnect the left cooling fan electrical connector.
  3. Reconnect the second 20-amp fused jumper wire from cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the left cooling fan electrical connector to the cooling fan low reference circuit of the left cooling fan electrical connector.
Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 18  Go to Step 11 
11 Reconnect the second 20-amp fused jumper wire from battery positive voltage to the left cooling fan low reference circuit of the left cooling fan electrical connector.
Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed?
Go to Step 19  Go to Step 23 
12 Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed? Go to Step 13  Go to Step 16 
13
  1. Disconnect the cooling fan 2 relay
