Inspection Procedure 24: Fan control relay system












OPERATION



  • The battery voltage is applied to the cooling fan control relay coil (terminal No. 3) from the ignition switch.
  • The engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 17) turns on the switch of the power transistor on the unit, and then turns on the switch of the relay by applying the electrical current to the cooling fan control relay coil.
  • When the cooling fan control relay is in ON position, the battery voltage is applied to the cooling fan motor (terminal No. 1) from the cooling fan control relay (terminal No. 4).

FUNCTION



  • When the cooling fan control relay is in ON position, the fan motor rotates.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed cooling fan control relay
  • Failed cooling fan motor
  • Open/short/damaged circuit in cooling fan control relay circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
