COOLING FAN CONTROL
System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001162544
The cooling fan motor is controlled by the ECM.
COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING
Cooling fan operate is guaranteed by a 2-speed fan assembly (LOW speed and HIGH speed).The ECM
requests the IPDM E/R to actuate them via the can communication. To provide cooling:
Engine running
- LOW speed is actuated when the engine coolant temperature exceeds 96 °C (205°F) and is deactivated
when it drops below 94 °C (201°F).
- HIGH speed is actuated when the engine coolant temperature exceeds 104 °C (219°F) and is deactivated
when it drops below 102 °C (216°F).
If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the threshold of 115°C (239°F), the ECM requests the IPDM E/R,
via the CAN communication, to switch off the air conditioning compressor so as to reduce the load on the
engine and attempt to limit the rise in temperature. The cut-off request is cancelled if the engine coolant tem-
perature drops below 110°C (230°F).
If a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit is detected, the ECM requests that HIGH
speed operation.
In addition to engine management, the ECM centralises the cooling requirements for the climate control and
automatic transmission/sequential gearbox functions (where fitted).

PRECAUTIONS
General Precaution
INFOID:0000000001606118
Do not operate the engine for an extended period of time without
proper exhaust ventilation.
Keep the work area well ventilated and free of any flammable
materials. Special care should be taken when handling any flam-
mable or poisonous materials, such as gasoline, refrigerant gas,
etc. When working in a pit or other enclosed area, be sure to prop-
erly ventilate the area before working with hazardous materials.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tire
blocks to the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran-
saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
Before starting repairs which do not require battery power:
Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
To prevent serious burns:
Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning
parts in an appropriate manner.
Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent
prior to inspection or assembly.
Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
Do not touch the terminals of electrical components which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, attach a tag to indicate the proper connection.
Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
