Cooling Fan Inoperative (LDK, LBW, or LAU)

Circuit/System Description
|
The engine cooling fan system is composed of two fans, 7 relays, the engine control module (ECM), and the associated wiring. Each fan assembly includes one resistor, which enables the ECM to operate the engine cooling fans at 3 speeds using two control circuits. The ECM activates the applicable relay by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. Each driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage. The cooling fan and fan relays receive battery voltage from the underhood fuse block. The ground path for the operation of the cooling fan is provided at G106.

The scan tool cooling fan output control operates as follows:
|
|
|
-
|
Cooling Fan Relay 1 operates both fans at a medium speed
|
|
|
-
|
Cooling Fan Relay 2 and 3 operates both fans at a low speed
|
|
|
-
|
Cooling Fan Relay 1, 2 and 3 operates both fans at a high speed

|
When disconnecting or removing fuses and relays from a fuse block, always inspect the component electrical terminals for corrosion and the correct orientation in the fuse block. Test the mating electrical terminals for tightness.
