^ Fuel trim is inhibited.
^ Conditions for fuel shut-off changed.
^ If engine coolant temperature exceeds 1O2°C (216°F) the engine cooling fan starts operating at full speed.

- Signal lead short circuited to voltage supply.
- Defective Fan Control (FC) relay.

^ Signal too low:
- Signal lead, half speed short circuited to ground.
- Signal lead, full speed short circuited to ground.
- Break in signal lead.
- Break in voltage lead to engine cooling fan.
