Diagnostic Test

  1. 1) RADIATOR FAN CONTROL RELAY OPERATION 
    NOTE: When actuating the radiator fan relays, the Radiator Fan(s) may have a delay in operation and ramp up slowly.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With a scan tool, select Radiator Cooling Fan Relay #1 Control State to actuate the Radiator Fan Control Relay.

    Is the Cooling Fan Relay operating? 

    Yes 

    1. Refer to *CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC .
    2. Perform *PCM VERIFICATION TEST .

    No
