CIRCUIT OPERA T ION
•The cooling fan motor drive contro l unit is pow-
ered from fusible link (2).
•The engine-ECU o r engine-A/T - ECU
/T> use s in pu t sign als fro m th e A/C switch , t h e
water t
e mpe r ature sensor unit and the vehicle
speed sensor T > or the outpu t sha f t speed
senso
r to control the speed of the coo ling
fan
moto r (L.H.) and the cooling fa n mot o r (R.H.)
<4G1 (V
ehicles wit h A/C)> or A/C co ndenser fan
motor <4G6>.

TROUBLESHOOTING
ENGINE COOLING14-7
•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.14-24.
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.14-33) <4G1> (Refer to P.14-35)
<4G6>. Then go to Step 24 .
STEP 2. Measure the power supply voltage at
cooling fan motor drive control unit connector
A-18.
