2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Verify that the cooling fan is not operating.
4. If the cooling fan is operating, do as follows.
SETUP
A) Connect the Special Service Tool (SST) New Generation Star (NGS) tester to the data link connector 2.
B) Select the "PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD" function on the NGS display.
C) Select the "LFC" and verify that the cooling fan control signal is OFF.
1. If the cooling fan control signal is ON, check the following.
- PCM terminal voltage
- Engine coolant temperature signal
2. If the cooling fan control signal is OFF, check the following.
- Cooling fan relay
- Short circuit in wiring harnesses and connectors (Main relay - Cooling fan relay - PCM)
TESTING
5. Start the engine.
