    1. Disconnect the A25 fan with motor assembly connector.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (IG).
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Engine Cooling Fan Duty Ratio.

      Powertrain > Engine > Active Test 

      Tester Display
      Control the Engine Cooling Fan Duty Ratio
    6. Operate the cooling fan motor (fan with motor assembly) using the Active Test function and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Techstream Operation Specified Condition
      A25-3 (SI) - Body ground Before Active Test (0%) → During Active Test (100%) Before Active Test (0%): Resistance is stable → During Active Test (100%): Resistance fluctuates*

      HINT: 

      *: Using the Active Test, duty control of the transistors in the ECM will be performed. Due to the duty control, resistance of the RFC terminal will be unstable during the Active Test. If the resistance is stable before the Active Test and fluctuates while performing the Active Test, it can be determined that the transistor is operating. If the transistor does not operate during the Active Test, the ECM may be malfunctioning.

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL [08/2020 - 12/2021]

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FAN WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY POWER SOURCE) 
    1. Disconnect the A25 fan with motor assembly connector.
