7 |
Do both cooling fans operate in low speed? | Go to Step 16 | Go to Step 8 |
8 | Connect the second 20-amp fused jumper between the battery positive voltage circuit of the cooling fan mode relay and the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the cooling fan mode relay. Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed? | Go to Step 11 | Go to Step 9 |
9 |
Does the left cooling fan operate in high speed? | Go to Step 18 | Go to Step 10 |
10 | Connect the second 20-amp fused jumper wire from the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit of the right cooling fan electrical connector to a good ground. Does the left cooling fan operate in high speed? | Go to Step 22 | Go to Step 23 |
11 |
Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed? | Go to Step 19 | Go to Step 12 |
12 | Connect the second 20-amp fused jumper wire from battery positive voltage to the left cooling fan low reference circuit of the left cooling fan electrical connector. Does the right cooling fan operate in high speed? | Go to Step 20 | Go to Step 24 |
13 | Is the right cooling fan operating properly in high speed? | Go to Step 14 | Go to Step 17 |
14 |
Does the left cooling fan operate properly in high speed? | Go to Step 16 | Go to Step 21 |
15 | Inspect for poor connections at the cooling fan 1 relay. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 30 | Go to Step 25 |
16 | Inspect for poor connections at the cooling fan mode relay. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 30 | Go to Step 26 |
17 | Inspect for poor connections at the cooling fan 2 relay. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 30 | Go to Step 27 |
18 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the right cooling fan. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 30 | Go to Step 28 |
19 | Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the left cooling fan. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 30 | Go to Step 29 |
20 | Repair the left cooling fan supply voltage circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 30 | -- |
21 | Repair the left cooling fan ground circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 30 | -- |
22 | Repair the right cooling fan ground circuit. Refer to Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 30 | -- |
23 |
