7. Basic Diagnostics Procedure

BI: DTC P1500
—RADIATOR FAN RELAY 1 CIRCUIT
MALFUNCTION (FAN
—1)—
DESCRIPTION:

The engine cooling system consists of a down-flow
radiator which features high heat-dissipation performance,
an electric motor fan, an engine coolant pump, a
thermostat, and an engine coolant temperature sensor.

The ON-OFF control of the radiator fan is governed by
the ECM which receives signals sent from the engine cool-
ant temperature sensor. On models which are equipped
with an air conditioning system, the ECM receives signals
sent from the engine coolant temperature sensor, vehicle
speed sensor 2 and A/C switch. These signals simulta-
neously turn ON or OFF the radiator main fan and radiator
sub fan as well as setting them at“HI”or“LO”speed.
