1. Connect a 5 Amp fused jumper between the fan control relay K26 diagnostic enable circuit and a known ground.
2. Grounding of the fan control relay K26 diagnostic enable circuit will simulate the closing of the primary coolant fan temperature switch stage 1 contacts, this will energize the fan control relay K26.

Does the auxiliary engine coolant fan #1 and auxiliary engine coolant fan #2 operate at low speed?

Go to Step 4

Go to Cooling Fan Inoperative - Auxiliary

4 | Observe the electric cooling fan. Is the electric cooling fan operating at low speed? | Go to Step 5 | Go to Cooling Fan Inoperative

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Leave all previously connected jumpers connected.

Does the water auxiliary pump operate?

Go to Step 6

Go to Auxiliary Water Pump Inoperative

1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
2. Leave all previously connected jumpers connected.
3. Connect a 5 Amp fused jumper between the fan control relay K28 and fan control relay K52 diagnostic enable circuit and a known good ground.
4. Grounding of the fan control relay K28 and fan control relay K52 diagnostic enable circuit will simulate the closing of the secondary cooling fan temperature switch, this will energize the fan control relay K28 and fan control relay K52.

Does the auxiliary engine coolant fan #1 operate at high speed?

Go to Step 7

Go to Cooling Fan Inoperative - Auxiliary

7 | Observe the auxiliary engine coolant fan #2. Does the auxiliary engine coolant fan #2 operate at high speed? | Go to Step 8 | Go to Cooling Fan Inoperative - Auxiliary

1. Leave all previously connected jumpers connected.
2. Connected a 5 Amp fused jumper between the fan control relay K67 diagnostic enable circuit and a known good ground.
3. Grounding of the fan control relay K67 diagnostic enable circuit will simulate the closing of the primary cooling fan temperature switch stage 2 contacts. This will energize the fan control relay K67.

Does the electric cooling fan operate at high speed?

Go to Step 9

Go to Cooling Fan Inoperative

1. Remove all previously connected jumpers.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run.
3. Turn the A/C compressor clutch coil ON.

Does the auxiliary engine coolant fan #1 and auxiliary engine coolant fan #2 operate at low speed when the compressor clutch coil is turned ON?

Go to Step 10

Go to Cooling Fan Inoperative - Auxiliary

1. Install the scan tool.
2. Monitor the engine coolant temperature using the scan tool.
3. Remove any previously connected jumpers.
4. Turn the A/C compressor clutch coil OFF.
5. Allow the engine to run until the primary cooling fan temperature switch reaches 100°C (212°F). The stage 1 contacts should close and energize the fan control relay K26.

Does the auxiliary engine coolant fan #1 and auxiliary engine coolant fan #2 operate at low speed?

Go to Step 11

Go to Step 12

11 | Continue to allow the engine to run until the secondary cooling fan temperature switch reaches 105°C (221°F). The secondary cooling fan temperature switch should close and energize the fan control relay K28 and fan control relay K52. Does the auxiliary engine coolant fan #1 and auxiliary engine coolant fan #2 operate at high speed? | Go to Step 15 | Go to Step 16
12 | Test the control circuit of the fan control relay K26 for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 21 | Go to Step 13
13 | Test the ground circuit of the primary cooling fan temperature switch for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 21 | Go to Step 14
14 | Replace the primary cooling fan temperature switch. Refer to Engine Cooling Fan Control Switch Replacement . Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 21 | --
15 | Continue to allow the engine to run until the primary cooling fan temperature switch reaches 110°C (230°F). The stage 2 contacts should close and energize the fan control relay K67. Does the electric cooling fan operate at high speed? | Go to Step 20 | Go to Step 18
16 | Test the control circuit of the fan control relay K28 and fan control relay K52 for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 21 | Go to Step 17
17 | Replace the secondary cooling fan temperature switch. Refer to Engine Cooling Fan Control Switch Replacement . Did you complete the repair? | Go to Step 21 | --
18 | Test the fan control relay K67 control circuit of the relay coil for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems. Did you find and correct the condition? | Go to Step 21 | Go to Step 19
