ELECTRIC COOLING FAN
CAUTION : Keep hands, tools, and clothing away
from the engine cooling fans to help prevent personal
injury. This fan is electric and can turn ON whether or
not the engine is running.
CAUTION : If a fan blade is bent or damaged in any
way, no attempt should be made to repair or reuse the
damaged part. A bent or damaged fan assembly
should always be replaced with a new one. Failure to
do so can result in personal injury.
The cooling fans are mounted behind the radiator in the
engine compartment. The electric cooling fans increase
the flow of air across the radiator fins and across the con-
denser on air condition (A/C)–equipped vehicles. This
helps to speed cooling when the vehicle is at idle or moving
at low speeds.
1.4L DOHC engine fan size is 340mm (13.4 in.) and
1.6L/1.8L DOHC engine main fan size is 300 mm (11.8
inches) in diameter with five blades to aid the air flow
through the radiator and the condenser. An electric motor
attached to the radiator support drives the fan.
A/C models have two fans – the main fan and the auxiliary
fan. The auxiliary fan is 300 mm (11.8 inches) in diameter.
Non–A/C models have only the main fan.
A/C OFF or Non–A/C Model (1.4L/1.6L)
S The cooling fans are actuated by the electronic
control module (ECM) using a low–speed cooling
fan relay and a high–speed cooling fan relay. On
A/C–equipped vehicles, a series/parallel cooling fan
relay is also used.
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the coolant temperature reaches 97.5°C
(207.5°F) and the cooling fans off at 95.25°C
(203.4°F).
A/C OFF or Non–A/C Model (1.8L)
S The cooling fans are actuated by the electronic
control module (ECM) using a low–speed cooling
fan relay and a high–speed cooling fan relay. On
A/C–equipped vehicles, a series/parallel cooling fan
relay is also used.
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the coolant temperature reaches 93°C
(199°F) and the cooling fans off at 90°C (194°F).
A/C ON (1.4L/1.6L)
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the A/C system is on. The ECM will change
to high speed when the coolant temperature reach-
es 101.25°C (214°F) or the high side A/C pressure
reaches 1859 kPa (270 psi).
S The cooling fans will return to low speed when the
coolant temperature reaches 99°C (210°F) and the
high side A/C pressure reaches 1449 kPa (210 psi).
A/C ON (1.8L)
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the A/C system is on. The ECM will change
to high speed when the coolant temperature reach-
es 97°C (207°F) or the high side A/C pressure
reaches 1859 kPa (270 psi).
S The cooling fans will return to low speed when the
coolant temperature reaches 94°C (201°F) and the
high side A/C pressure reaches 1449 kPa (210 psi).
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
The vehicle is designed to accept an engine block heater
that helps to warm the engine and to improve starting in
cold weather. It also can help to reduce fuel consumption
while a cold engine warms up.
The engine block heater is located under the intake man-
ifold and uses an existing expansion plug for installation.

ENGINE COOLING FAN CIRCUIT CHECK – DUAL FAN
(1.4L/1.6L DOHC)
Circuit Description
The engine cooling fan circuit operates the main cooling
fan and the auxiliary cooling fan. The cooling fans are con-
trolled by the engine control module (ECM) based on in-
puts from the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
and the Air Conditioning Pressure (ACP) sensor. The
ECM controls the low speed cooling fan operation by inter-
nally grounding the ECM connector terminal 10. This ener-
gizes the low speed cooling fan relay and operates the
main cooling fan and the auxiliary cooling fan at low speed
as the cooling fans are connected in a series circuit. The
ECM controls the high speed cooling fan operation by in-
ternally grounding the ECM connector terminal 10 and the
ECM connector terminal 9 at the same time. This ener-
gizes the low speed cooling fan relay, the high speed cool-
ing fan relay, and the series/parallel cooling fan relay re-
sulting in high speed fan operation as the cooling fans are
now connected in a parallel circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
S If the owner complained of an overheating problem,
it must be determined if the complaint was due to
an actual boil over, or the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge indicated overheating. If the engine is
overheating and the cooling fans are on, the cooling
system should be checked.
S If the engine fuse block fuses Ef11 become open
(blown) immediately after installation, inspect for a
short to ground in the wiring of the appropriate cir-
cuit. If the fuses become open (blown) when the
cooling fans are to be turned on by the ECM, sus-
pect a faulty cooling fan motor.
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the coolant temperature is 97°C (207°F). The
ECM will turn the cooling fans off when the coolant
temperature is 94°C(201°F).
S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at high speed
when the coolant temperature is 101°C (214°F).
The ECM will change the cooling fans from high
speed to low speed when the coolant temperature
is 98°C (208°F).S The ECM will turn the cooling fans on at low speed
when the A/C system is on. The ECM will change
the cooling fans from low speed to high speed
when the high side A/C pressure is 1882 kPa (273
psi) then return to low speed when the high side
A/C pressure is 1448 kPa (210 psi). When the A/C
system is on, the ECM will change the cooling fans
from low to high speed when the coolant tempera-
ture reaches 117°C (244°F) then return to low
speed when the coolant temperature reaches
11 4°C (237°F).
S The cooling fan circuit can be checked quickly by
disconnecting the ECM connector 2 and grounding
the connector terminal 10. This should create low
speed cooling fan operation with the ignition ON. By
grounding the ECM connector terminals 10 and 9
and turning the ignition ON, high speed cooling fan
operation should be achieved.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
4. This step, along with step 5, checks for the ability of
the ECM to operate the cooling fans.
8. This step, along with step 9, checks for the ability of
the ECM to operate the cooling fans in response to
A/C pressure readings.
16. After confirming battery voltage and the ECM sup-
plying a ground to the coil side of the cooling fan
relay A, by jumpering connector terminals 30 and
87 it will be determined if the relay is at fault or a
wiring problem is present.
31. This step checks for the presence of battery volt-
age to the main cooling fan when the A/C is on. If
battery voltage is present and the cooling fans are
not operating, the problem is in the ground side of
the cooling fan circuit.
37. By directly grounding the ECM connector terminals
10 and 9, the main and auxiliary cooling fans
should run at high speed.
