COOLING FAN COMPONENT CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [L8, LF]


id0112b4141900

Construction

• The cooling fan component consists of the radiator cowling, cooling fan, and cooling fan motor.

• Electric cooling fan, which operates according to the fan control signal from the PCM, has been adopted. Due to this, engine noise has been reduced and rapid engine warming-up is possible.

• The radiator cowling and cooling fan are made of plastic for weight reduction.

Operation

• Cooling fan operates according to the engine coolant temperature and whether the A/C is on or off. Three-stage control has been adopted to the cooling fan with high, middle, and low speed rotation allowing noise reduction and power savings. (See ELECTRICAL FAN CONTROL OPERATION [L8, LF].)

• The cooling fan may keep operating for a few seconds or minutes after the ignition switch is turned off depending on the engine coolant temperature.
