Fan Control Module Inspection

  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. Start and warm up the engine.
  3. Monitor the engine coolant temperature with the M-MDS.
  4. Gradually increase the FAN_DUTY value from 0 to the maximum possible M-MDS operation value using the simulation function. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST .)
    • Visually verify that the operation speed of the cooling fan conforms to the override drive.
    • To start the cooling fan from the stopped condition, approx. 5 s. are needed for start-up preparations before starting the cooling fan.
    • Using the M-MDS, change the operation condition of the A/C while measuring the engine coolant temperature under the following conditions, and verify that the cooling fan operates correctly.
    • Because there is an intake air temperature decrease control setting, the cooling fan may operate when IAT sensor No. 1 detects 60°C {140°F} or more according to conditions other than those mentioned.
    • Because there is an engine protection control setting, the cooling fan may operate when IAT sensor No. 2 detects 70°C {158°F} or more according to conditions other than those mentioned.
    Engine coolant temperature °C {°F} A/C operation status Cooling fan operation status
    less than 98 {208} Off Off
    less than 98 {208} On On
    more than 100 {212} Off On
  5. If normal operation cannot be verified in Steps 4 and 5, inspect the input signals of the following parts.

    Replace the cooling fan motor if all the following parts are normal. 

    • ECT sensor
    • Refrigerant pressure sensor
