DInspection the cooling fan
DInspection the ECM
Circuit Description
Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the cooling fan relay coil. The ECM controls the relay by grounding the control
circuit. When the ECM is commanding a command ON, the voltage of the control circuit should be low (near 0 volt).
When the ECM is commanding the control circuit should be high (near battery voltage). If the fault detection circuit
senses a voltage other than what is expected, the fault line status will change causing the fault code to set.

Circuit Description
Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that maintain a desired driving speed without using the accelerator
pedal. The vehicle speed must be greater than 40 km/h to engage cruise control.

Circuit Description
Battery voltage is supplied to the TCS warning lamp with the ignition in ON and START. The warning lamp can be
activated only by the Electrical Brake Control Module (EBCM) internally supplying ground to terminal 32. If the TCS
input circuit is open or short, this failure codewill be set.

EXHAUST SYSTEM
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to convert the three pollutants of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC)
and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contained in the exhaust of gasoline engines, into the harmless compounds of water
(H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2).
The catalytic converter contains a catalyst, a word coming from the Greek and which designates the element essential
for catalyst which triggers chemical reactions without itself being consumed.
These catalysts in the 3 -- way catalytic converter are the rare metals platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh).
The catalytic converter consists essentially of three main elements. The exhaust gases flow through the catalytic con-
verter and, in so doing, coming into contact with rare metals (Pt and Rh).
The following chemical reaction are produced.
CO + O2→CO2
HC + O2→CO2 + H2O
NOx→N2 + O2
