Background
lThe high speed condenser fan relay controls the hig h speed operation of the condenserfan.lOne side of the relay control coil is supplied with 12 volts when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
lThe circuit is completed when the other side of the relay coil is grounded by the PCM.lThe PCM grounds the relay control circuit depending on engine coolant temperature and
other conditions.
