Diagnostic procedure
STEP |
INSPECTION |
ACTION |
|
---|---|---|---|
1
|
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
|
||
2
|
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related service repair information availability.
• Is any related repair information available?
|
Yes
|
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
• If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
3
|
VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE AND/OR DTC
• Switch the ignition to off, then to ON (engine off).
• Perform the Pending Trouble Code Access Procedure and DTC Reading Procedure.
• Is the following PENDING CODE/DTC also present?
• P0480, P0691, P0692
|
Yes
|
Go to the applicable DTC inspection
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
4
|
INSPECT FAN CONTROL MODULE CONNECTOR CONDITION
• Switch the ignition to OFF.
• Disconnect the fan control module connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
• Is there any malfunction?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 11.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
5
|
INSPECT FAN CONTROL MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN
• Disconnect battery negative terminal.
• Fan control module component connector is disconnected.
• Inspect for continuity between fan control module terminals 1A and 2A (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
• Is there any continuity?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace wiring harness and/or ground point for a possible open circuit, then go to Step 11.
|
||
6
|
INSPECT FAN CONTROL MODULE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN OR SHORT TO GROUND
• Reconnect the battery negative terminal.
• Fan control module connector is disconnected.
• Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).
• Measure the voltage at the fan control module terminal 1D (wiring harness-side).
• Is the voltage B+?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Verify the FAN1 and FAN2 fuse condition.
• If the FAN1 and/or FAN2 fuse is blown, repair or replace wiring harness for a possible short to ground circuit.
• If the FAN1 and FAN2 fuse is normal, repair or replace wiring harness for a possible open circuit.
Then go to Step 11.
|
||
7
|
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
• Disconnect the PCM connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
• Is there any malfunction?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 11.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
8
|
INSPECT COOLING FAN CONTROL SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
• Fan control module and PCM connectors are disconnected.
• Inspect for continuity between fan control module terminal 1C (wiring harness-side) and ground.
• Is there any continuity?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground, then go to Step 11.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
9
|
INSPECT COOLING FAN CONTROL SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN
• Battery negative terminal is disconnected.
• Fan control module and PCM connectors are disconnected.
• Inspect for continuity between fan control module terminal 1C (wiring harness-side) and PCM terminal 318 (wiring harness-side).
• Is there any continuity?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to Step 11.
|
||
10
|
INSPECT THROTTLE VALVE CONTROL AND FEEDBACK SIGNAL CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
• Reconnect the battery negative terminal.
• Fan control module and PCM connectors are disconnected.
• Turn the ignition switch ON (engine off).
• Measure the voltage at fan control module terminal 1C (wiring harness-side).
• Is there any voltage?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the cooling fan component, then go to the next step.
|
||
11
|
