ELECTRICAL FAN CONTROL [SKYACTIV-D 1.5]


id0140z5205000


Outline

•  Through cooling of the radiator and condenser by operation of the cooling fan according to vehicle conditions, engine reliability and cooling performance have been improved.
•  The PCM determines the engine operation conditions based on the signal from each sensor and performs duty-control of the fan control module to control the rotation speed of the cooling fan motor.

Operation


Engine coolant temperature conditions

•  Output duty ratio is controlled according to the engine coolant temperature as indicated in the graph.
•  While the engine coolant temperature is decreasing, it is controlled at a different temperature from that of when the engine coolant temperature is increasing.

A/C conditions

•  Output duty ratio is controlled according to the refrigerant pressure when the A/C switch is on.

Exhaust air temperature condition

•  If all of the following conditions are met to suppress temperature increase inside the engine compartment, the output duty is controlled at a ratio of 75%.
―  Exhaust gas temperature sensor No.3: 400 °C {221 °F} or more
―  Vehicle speed: 40 km/h {25 mph} or less


After cooling control

•  To suppress temperature increase inside the engine compartment, the cooling fan operates (output duty ratio: 50 %) for up to 9 min under the following condition.
―  Exhaust gas temperature sensor No.3: 400 °C {221 °F} or more


Condition during collision

•  If a collision signal from the SAS control module is received, the PCM stops the engine cooling fan to avoid use of battery voltage.
