Circuit Description

The low speed cooling fan relay is controlled by the electronic control module (ECM). The ECM applies a ground to the low speed cooling fan relay to achieve low speed cooling fan operation. The ECM determines when to activate the low speed cooling fan relay depending on the coolant temperature and the A/C system high side pressure.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • A short to battery voltage condition exists.
    • This condition is present for more than 2 seconds.

Diagnostic Aids

An intermittent problem may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation, or a broken wire inside the insulation.
