Radiator Fan Circuit Troubleshooting

  1. Check the No. 3−6 (30 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and the No. 16 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.
Are the fuses OK?
YES -
Go to Step 2 .
NO -
Replace the fuse(s) and recheck.■
  1. Remove the radiator fan relay and the relay circuit board from the under-hood fuse/relay box, and test the radiator fan relay and fan control relay.
Is the relays OK?
YES -
Go to Step 3 .
NO -
Replace the radiator fan relay and/or relay circuit board and recheck.■
Is the motor OK?
YES -
Go to Step 4 .
NO -
  1. Measure the voltage between the radiator fan relay 4P socket terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES -
Go to Step 5 .
NO -
Replace the under-hood fuse/relay box.■
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

  1. Measure the voltage between the radiator fan relay 4P socket terminal No. 4 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES -
Go to Step 7 .
NO -
Replace the under-hood fuse/relay box.■
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  1. Disconnect the radiator fan motor 2P connector.

  1. Check for continuity between the radiator fan relay 4P socket terminal No. 2 and the radiator fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 2.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to Step 10 .
NO -
Repair open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and the radiator fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 2.■
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  1. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). If it doesn't communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
  1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
    NOTE: This step must be done to protect the ECM/PCM from damage.
  1. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (49P)

  1. Check for continuity between the radiator fan relay 4P socket terminal No. 3 and ECM/PCM connector terminal A5.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to Step 16 .
NO -
Repair open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and ECM/PCM connector terminal A5.■
  1. Disconnect the under-hood fuse/relay box connector B.

  1. Check for continuity between the radiator fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 1 and under-hood fuse/relay box connector B11.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to Step 18 .
NO -
Repair open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and the radiator fan motor 2P connector terminal No. 1.■

  1. Check for continuity between under-hood fuse/relay box connector D10 and ECM/PCM connector terminal A6.
Is there continuity?
YES -
Go to Step 19 .
NO -
Repair open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and ECM/PCM connector terminal A6.■

  1. Check for continuity between under-hood fuse/relay box connector B1 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES -
NO -
Repair open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and body ground. If the wire is OK, check for a poor ground at G301.■
