Cooling Fan Control Operation Inspection (BP WITH TC)

  1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
  2. Access the ECT PID.
  3. Verify that the ECT PID is below 100°C {212°F} 
  4. Verify that the fan motor No.1 and No.2 do not operate.
    • If the cooling fans are operating, inspect for following:
      • Short to GND circuit in wiring between A/C switch and PCM terminal 4F
      • Short to GND circuit in wiring between fan relay No.1 and PCM terminal 2B
      • Short to GND circuit in wiring between fan relay No.2 and PCM terminal 2C
      • Short to GND circuit in wiring between fan relay No.3 and PCM terminal 2C
      • Fan relay No.1 stuck close
  5. Start the engine and warm up it to ECT PID is above 100°C {212°F} 
  6. Verify that fan motor No.1 and No.2 operate.
    • If the fan motor No.1 and No.2 do not operate inspect for following:
      • Open circuit in wiring between PCM terminal 2B and fan relay No.1
      • Open circuit in wiring between battery positive terminal and fan relay No.1
      • Fan relay No.1 stuck open
    • If the fan motor No.1 does not operate inspect for following:
      • Open circuit between fan relay No.1 and GND through fan motor No.1
      • Fan motor No.1 malfunction
    • If the fan motor No.2 does not operate inspect for following:
      • Open circuit between fan relay No.3 and GND through fan motor No.2
      • Fan motor No.2 malfunction
  7. Verify that the fan motor No.1 and No.2 operate high speed while the A/C is operating.
    • If the fan motor No.1 and No.2 do not operate high speed, inspect for following:
      • Open circuit between A/C switch and PCM terminal 4F
      • Open circuit between PCM terminal 2C and fan relay No.2
      • Open circuit between PCM terminal 2C and fan relay No.3
      • Open circuit between battery positive terminal and fan relay No.2
      • Open circuit between battery positive terminal and fan relay No.3
      • Open circuit between fan relay No.2 and GND
      • Fan relay No.2 stuck open
      • Fan relay No.3 stuck open
    • If the fan motor No.1 does not operate high speed, inspect for following:
      • Open circuit between fan relay No.2 and fan motor No.1
      • Open circuit between fan relay No.3 and fan motor No.1
      • Fan motor No.1 malfunction
    • If the fan motor No.2 does not operate high speed, inspect for following:
      • Open circuit between fan relay No.2 and fan motor No.2
      • Open circuit between fan relay No.3 and fan motor No.2
      • Fan motor No.2 malfunction
