1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. With a scan tool, increase and decrease the 3 speed fan through LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH.

Do both fans operate at the proper speeds?

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the cooling fan control module.
3. Disconnect the PCM/ECM.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Test the control circuits of the cooling fan control module for a short to ground, short to voltage, high resistance or an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs in Wiring Systems.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 4

1. Turn Off the ignition.
2. Connect the PCM/ECM.
3. Install a scan tool.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
5. Probe the control circuits of the cooling fan control module with a test lamp that is connected to voltage.
6. With a scan tool, command the appropriate fan control circuit ON and OFF.

Does the test lamp turn ON and OFF with each command?
