ENGINE COOLING DIAGNOSIS
ENGINE COOLING14-5
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 3: Radiator Fan and Condenser Fan do not Operate
.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The fan controller is powered from fusible link
No.2.
The engine-ECU uses input signals from the A/C
switch, the water temperature sensor unit and the
vehicle speed sensor or the output shaft
speed sensor to control the speed of the
radiator fan motor and the condenser fan motor.
The engine-ECU controls the fan controller to
activate the radiator fan motor and the condenser
fan motor.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The cause could be a malfunction of the fan con-
troller power supply or earth circuit.
If the communication line wiring harness between
the fan controller and the engine-ECU is
short-circuited to earth, the radiator fan motor
and the condenser fan motor will not rotate.
The cause could also be a malfunction of input
signal from the A/C switch, the water temperature
sensor unit and the vehicle speed sensor
or the output shaft speed sensor to the
engine-ECU.
The cause could also be a malfunction of the fan
controller or the engine-ECU.

STEP 23. MUT-III self-diag code
Check if an MPI system self-diag code is set. (Refer to GROUP
13A - Trouble shooting 13A-5).
Q: Diagnosis code set?
YES : Inspection chart for diagnosis code (Refer to GROUP
13A - Trouble shooting 13A-17)
NO : Replace the engine-ECU (Refer to GROUP 13A,
Engine-ECU 13A-675 ). Then go to Step 24.
STEP 24. Check the symptoms.
Q: Does the radiator fan motor and the condenser fan
motor operate correctly?
YES : This symptom is complete.
NO : Return to Step 1.
