ENGINE COOLING14-7
CIRCUIT OPERATION
•The cooling fan motor drive control unit is
powered from fusible link (2).
•The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
uses input signals from the A/C switch, the
water temperature sensor unit and the vehicle
speed sensor or the output shaft speed
sensor to control the speed of the cooling
fan motor (L.H.) and the cooling fan motor (R.H.)
<4G1 (Vehicles with A/C)> or A/C condenser fan
motor <4G6>.
•The engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU
controls the cooling fan motor drive control
unit to activate the cooling fan motor (L.H.) and
the cooling fan motor (R.H.) <4G1 (Vehicles with
A/C)> or A/C condenser fan motor <4G6>.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
•The cause could be a malfunction of the cooling
fan motor drive control unit power supply or earth
circuit.
•If the communication line wiring harness between
the cooling fan motor drive control unit and the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU is
short-circuited to earth, the cooling fan motor
(L.H.) and the cooling fan motor (R.H.) <4G1
(Vehicles with A/C)> or the A/C condenser fan
motor <4G6> will not rotate.
•The cause could also be a malfunction of the
cooling fan motor (L.H.).
•The cause could also be a malfunction of imput
signal from the A/C switch, the water temperature
sensor unit and the vehicle speed sensor
or the output shaft speed sensor to the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU .
•The cause could also be a malfunction of the
cooling fan motor drive control unit or the
engine-ECU or engine-A/T-ECU .
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of fusible link (2)
•Malfunction of fan control relay
•Malfunction of cooling fan motor (L.H.) without A/C>
•Malfunction of cooling fan motor drive control unit
•Malfunction of engine-ECU or
engine-A/T-ECU
•Damaged wiring harness or connector
DIAGNOSIS
STEP 1. Check the cooling fan motor (L.H.).

Refer to P.14-25.
Q: Is the cooling fan motor (L.H.) in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 2 .
NO : Replace the cooling fan motor (L.H.) (Refer
to P.14-35). Then go to Step 24 .
STEP 2. Measure the power supply voltage at
cooling fan motor drive control unit connector
A-18.
(1) Disconnect cooling fan motor drive control unit
connector A-18 and measure wiring harness side
connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between cooling fan motor
drive control unit connector A-18 terminal 3 and
body earth.
•The voltage should measure system voltage.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
(5) Connect cooling fan motor drive control unit
connector A-18.
Q: Is the measured voltage system voltage?
YES :
Go to Step 17 .
NO : Go to Step 3 .

STEP 3. Check the cooling fan motor drive
control unit connector A-18.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?
YES : .
Go to Step 4 .
NO : . Repair or replace the connector. Then go to
Step 24 .
STEP 4. Check the fusible link No.2.
Q: Is the fusible link No.2 in good condition?
YES : .
Go to Step 5 .
NO : . Replace the fusible link No.2. Then go to
Step 24 .
STEP 5. Measure the power supply voltage at fan
control relay connector A-09X.(1) Disconnect fan control relay connector A-09X
(remove the fan control relay) and measure relay
box side connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Measure the voltage between fan control relay
connector A-09X terminal 4 and body earth.
•The voltage should measure system voltage.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF)
position.
(5) Connect fan control relay connector A-09X
(install the fan control relay).
Q: Is the measured voltage system voltage?
YES :
Go to Step 8 .
NO : Go to Step 6 .
STEP 6. Check the fan control relay connector
A-09X.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?
YES :
Go to Step 7 .
NO : Repair the connector or replace the relay
box. Then go to Step 24 .
