|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to FREEZE FRAME DATA DTC inspection.
|
4
|
INSPECT HIGH SPEED FAN CONTROL (HFC) CIRCUIT FOR INTERMITTENT FAILURE
• Rerun KOEO, KOER self test and Continuous Memory DTCs.
• Is DTC P0481 present in Continuous Memory self test only?
|
Yes
|
Go to Step 10.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
5
|
CHECK VPWR VOLTAGE TO MFC RELAY
• Disconnect high speed fan control relay No.1 and No.2.
• Turn the ignition switch to ON.
• Start the engine.
• Measure VPWR circuit voltages at high speed fan relay No.1 and No.2 harness connector terminal 85.
• Is voltage greater than 10.5 V?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair open circuit, then go to Step 12.
|
6
|
CHECK FOR HFC CIRCUIT CYCLING
• Turn the ignition switch to ON.
• Connect a non-powered test lamp between VPWR circuit and the HFC circuit at each high speed fan relay harness connector terminal 85 to 86.
• Access Output Test Mode HFC PID on the WDS or equivalent.
• While observing test lamp, command the HFC PID on and off.
• Does the test lamp turned on and off when the cooling fan output is commanded on and off?
|
Yes
|
Replace malfunctioning high speed cooling fan relay, then go to Step 12.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
7
|
CHECK HFC CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER IN HARNESS
• Disconnect PCM.
• Turn the ignition switch to ON.
• Measure voltage between high speed cooling fan control relay No.1, No.2 terminal 86 at harness side connector and ground.
• Is voltage less than 1.0 V?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair short circuit, then go to Step 12.
|
8
|
CHECK HFC CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND HARNESS
• Disconnect WDS or equivalent to DLC.
• Measure resistance between each high speed cooling fan control relay terminal 86 at harness side connector and ground.
• Is resistance greater than 10.0 ohms?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair short to ground circuit, then go to Step 12.
|
9
|
CHECK FOR OPEN HFC CIRCUIT
• Measure the resistance of the HFC circuit between the PCM terminal 46 and each high speed cooling fan control relay connector terminal 85 at harness side connector.
• Is resistance less than 5.0 ohms?
|
Yes
|
Replace PCM, then go to Step 12.
|
No
|
Repair open circuit, then go to Step 12.
|
10
|
CHECK HFC CORCUIT FOR OPEN OR SHORT TO POWER
• A/C and defroster off.
• Disconnect cooling fan connector (both applications with two fans).
• Connect a non-powered test lamp between (HIGH) FAN PWR circuit and ground circuit at the cooling fan harness connector (either one for applications with two fans).
• Turn the ignition switch to ON.
• Access Output Test Mode HFC PID on the WDS or equivalent.
• Command HFC PID to on.
• Observe test lamp for an indication of a fault while completing the following (the lamp will turn off when a fault is detected, indicating an open or short to power):
-
- Shake wiggle and bend the HFC circuit between PCM and each high speed cooling fan control relay.
-
- Shake wiggle and bend the VPWR circuit to the each high speed cooling fan control relay
-
- Lightly tap on the each high speed cooling fan control relay to simulate road shock
• Is fault indicated?
|
Yes
|
Isolate fault and repair, repair or replace malfunctioning part.
Then go to Step 12.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
11
|
CHECK HFC CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GND
• Turn the ignition switch to ON.
• Command HFC PID to off using Output Test Mode on the WDS or equivalent.
• Observe the test lamp for an indication of a fault while completing the following (the lamp will turn on when a fault is detected, indicating HFC circuit short to ground):
-
- Shake wiggle and bend the HFC circuit between PCM and HFC relays.
-
- Lightly tap on the HFC relays to simulate road shock
• Is fault indicated?
|
Yes
|
Isolate fault and repair, repair or replace malfunctioning part.
Then go to the next step.
|
No
|
Intermittent concern exists, go to Intermittent Troubleshooting Procedure.
|
12
|
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0481 COMPLETED
• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
• Perform KOEO/KOER self test.
• Is the PENDING CODE same DTC present?
|
Yes
|
Replace PCM, then go to next step.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
13
|
VERIFY AFTER SERVICE PROCEDURE
• Perform "AFTER SERVICE PROCEDURE".
• Is there any DTC present?
|
Yes
|
Go to applicable DTC inspection.
|
No
|
Troubleshooting completed.
