4. Command the appropriate cooling fan relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from OL when commanded OFF to
less than 1 V when commanded ON.
瀚慖f the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or for a short to
voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate KR20 relay.
Component Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the KR20 cooling fan relay.
2. Test for 70-110 ohm between terminals 85 and 86.
瀚慖f not within the specified range, replace the KR20 cooling fan relay.
3. Measure the resistance between the terminals listed below:
* 30 and 86
* 30 and 87
* 30 and 85
* 85 and 87
The DMM should display OL.
瀚慖f less than the specified range, replace the KR20 cooling fan relay.
4. Test the KR20 Fan Control Relay for less than 2 ohm between terminals 30 and 87A.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, replace the fan control relay.
5. Connect a 20 A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85 and B+. Connect a jumper wire between relay terminal 86 and ground. Test for
less than 2 ohm between terminals 30 and 87.
瀚慖f greater than the specified range, replace the KR20 cooling fan relay.
