Symptom:
P-1491 RADIATOR FAN CONTROL RELAY CIRCUIT
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P-1491 RADIATOR FAN CONTROL RELAY CIRCUIT
When Monitored: With the ignition key on, battery voltage greater than 10 volts, and the
PCM requests the fans to be turned on.
Set Condition: An open or shorted condition is detected in the radiator fan relay control
circuit.
POSSIBLE CAUSES

RAD FAN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT, 0 VOLTS TO BATTERY V
RADIATOR FAN RELAY GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
RADIATOR FAN RELAY DEFECTIVE
RAD FAN RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORT TO GROUND
RADIATOR FAN MOTORS W/H INTERMITTENT DEFECT
RADIATOR FAN MOTORS W/H OBSERVABLE DEFECT
RADIATOR FAN RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN
PCM DEFECTIVE (RADIATOR FAN MOTORS)
