Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit/System Description
The engine cooling fan system consists of one electrical cooling fan, a serviceable resistor module mounted in the cooling fan shroud, and three fan
relays. The relays are arranged in a series parallel (S/P) configuration that allows the engine control module (ECM) to operate the fan at low,
medium, or high speeds, depending on cooling requirements. The resistor module is a self-contained unit providing a specific resistance through
three individual circuits. To operate the fan, the ECM activates the applicable relay by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called
a driver. The 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 G104.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition voltage is between 10-18 volts.
* The engine speed is greater than 80 RPM.
* The ECM driver transitions from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON.
* DTC P0480, P0481, P0691, P0692, P0693, and P0694 run continuously when the conditions above are met for greater 5 mS.
