Inspection Procedure 3: Radiator Fan and Condenser Fan do not Operate Normally (The Fans do not Operate or Operate Unintentionally).
 
 
 
 
OPERATION
  • Based on the signal from the secondary pulley speed sensor signal (vehicle speed signal) from the TCM or and the A/C switch signal from the A/C-ECU, the engine control module sends the radiator fan and condenser fan control signal to the ETACS-ECU via CAN bus line.
  • Based on the radiator fan and condenser fan control signal from the engine control module, the ETACS-ECU turns ON/OFF the radiator fan relay, condenser fan relay, and the fan control relay to control the rotation of the radiator fan motor and condenser fan motor.
 
 
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
  • If the radiator fan and condenser fan do not operate normally (the fan does not operate or operates unintentionally), the radiator fan motor, the condenser fan motor, the radiator fan relay, the condenser fan relay, the fan control relay, the ETACS-ECU may be defective.
  • The CAN bus line, ETACS-ECU, CVT system, A/C system, or DFI and MFI system may also be defective.
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Malfunction of CAN bus system.
  • Damaged harness or connector.
  • Malfunction of the DFI and MFI system.
  • Malfunction of the CVT system.
  • Malfunction of the A/C system.
