Circuit/System Description
|
The engine cooling fan system is composed of two fans, 7 relays, the engine control module (ECM), and the associated wiring. Each fan assembly includes one resistor, which enables the ECM to operate the engine cooling fans at 3 speeds using two control circuits. The ECM activates the applicable relay by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. Each driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage. The cooling fan and fan relays receive battery voltage from the underhood fuse block. The ground path for the operation of the cooling fan is provided at G106.
|
Conditions for Running the DTC
|
|
•
|
The ignition voltage is between 10-18 V.
|
|
•
|
The engine speed is greater than 80 RPM.
|
|
•
|
The ECM driver transitions from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON.
|
|
•
|
DTC P0480, P0481, P0691, P0692, P0693, and P0694 run continuously when the conditions above are met for greater 1.5 S.
|
|
Conditions for Setting the DTC
|
P0480
The ECM detects an open on the FAN 1 cooling fan relay control circuit.
P0481
The ECM detects an open circuit on the FAN 2 cooling fan relay control circuit.
P0691
The ECM detects a short to ground on the FAN 1 cooling fan relay control circuit.
P0692
The ECM detects a short to voltage on the FAN 1 cooling fan relay control circuit.
P0693
The ECM detects a short to ground on the FAN 2 cooling fan relay control circuit.
P0694
The ECM detects a short to voltage on the FAN 2 cooling fan relay control circuit.
|
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
|
DTCs P0480, P0481, P0691, P0692, P0693, and P0694 are Type B DTCs.
|
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
|
DTCs P0480, P0481, P0691, P0692, P0693, and P0694 are Type B DTCs.
|
•
|
The ECM has the capability of providing command to the fan relays even when a scan tool output control is being used. Always refer to the fan control command parameters on the scan tool to know which fans are being commanded ON by the ECM.
|
|
•
|
The scan tool cooling fan output control operates as follows:
|
|
|
-
|
Cooling Fan Relay 1 operates both fans at a medium speed
|
|
|
-
|
Cooling Fan Relays 2 and 3 operates both fans at a low speed
|
|
|
-
|
Cooling Fan Relays 1, 2 and 3 operates both fans at a high speed
|
|
•
|
When disconnecting or removing fuses and relays from a fuse block, always inspect the component electrical terminals for corrosion and the correct orientation in the fuse block. Test the mating electrical terminals for tightness.
|
|
•
|
A condition with the powertrain relay may set DTC P0481 or P0693.

Circuit/System Verification
|
|
1.
|
With the engine running, read the DTC Info with a scan tool. DTC P0480, P0481, P0691, P0692, P0693 or P0694 are not set.
|
|
2.
|
Command the cooling fans ON and OFF at high speed while observing the scan tool circuit test status parameters listed below:
|
|
|
•
|
Cooling Fan Relay 1 Control Circuit Open, Low Voltage, and High Voltage Test Status
|
|
|
•
|
Cooling Fan Relays 2 and 3 Control Circuit Open, Low Voltage, and High Voltage Test Status
The parameters should display OK or Not Run in each of the commanded states.
|
|
3.
|
Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
|
|
1.
|
Ignition OFF, disconnect the KR20 cooling fan relays listed below:
|
|
|
•
|
KR20F cooling fan relay
|
|
|
•
|
KR20C cooling fan low speed relay
|
|
|
•
|
KR20D cooling fan high speed relay
|
|
2.
|
Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between ground and the relay coil ignition voltage circuit terminal listed below. The test lamp should illuminate.
|
|
|
•
|
KR20F cooling fan relay terminal 85
|
|
|
•
|
KR20C cooling fan low speed relay terminal 86
|
|
3.
|
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the relay coil ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the relay coil ignition circuit fuse is open, test all components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary.
|
|
4.
|
|
Note
|
|
•
|
The control circuits for the cooling fan relays are pulled-up to a voltage within the ECM, 2.6-4.6 volts on the control circuit is normal.
|
|
•
|
The following tests must be performed on all three fan relay control circuits.
|
Connect the red lead of the DMM to a control circuit terminal listed below. Connect the black lead to ground. Set the DMM on the diode setting. The DMM should display OL.
|
|
|
•
|
KR20F cooling fan relay terminal 86
|
|
|
•
|
KR20C cooling fan low speed relay terminal 85
|
|
|

|
Note
|
|
The following test must be performed on all three fan relay circuits.
|
Command the cooling fan relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The DMM should transition from OL when commanded OFF to less than 1 V when commanded ON.
|
|
7.
|
If the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
|
|

|
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate KR20 relay.
|
|
1.
