Introduction
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
Refer to the DTC Fault Trigger Conditions.
Although the PCM output circuits are called LFC,
MFC, and HFC, cooling fan operation is controlled by a combination of
these outputs.
DTC Fault Trigger Conditions
DTC |
Description |
Fault Trigger Condition |
PCM P028D:00 |
Charge Air Cooler Cooling Fan Control Circuit Low: No Sub Type Information |
Sets when the PCM detects an open circuit or a short to ground from the charge air cooler cooling fan circuit.
|
PCM P028E:00 |
Charge Air Cooler Cooling Fan Control Circuit High: No Sub Type Information |
Sets when the PCM detects a short to voltage from the charge air cooler cooling fan circuit.
|
PCM P0480:00 |
Fan 1 Control Circuit: No Sub Type Information |
Sets when the PCM
detects excessive current draw from the low fan control circuit when
activated; or voltage is not detected from the low fan control circuit
when not activated. The PCM expects to detect vehicle power voltage
coming through the low speed fan control relay coil to the low fan
control circuit.
When the LFC_F PID reads YES, a concern is present. A short to voltage
can only be detected when the PCM is grounding the low fan control
circuit.
|
PCM P0481:00 |
Fan 2 Control Circuit: No Sub Type Information |
Sets when the PCM
detects the high fan control output is commanded on (grounded) and
excessive current draw is detected from the high fan control circuit; or
when the high fan control circuit is commanded off and voltage is not
detected from the high fan control circuit. The PCM expects to detect
vehicle power voltage through the high speed fan control relay coil to
the high fan control circuit.
When the HFC_F PID reads YES, a concern is present. An open circuit or
short to ground can only be detected when the PCM is not grounding the
high fan control circuit. A short to voltage can only be detected when
the PCM is grounding the high fan control circuit.
|
PCM P0482:00 |
Fan 3 Control Circuit: No Sub Type Information |
Sets when the PCM
detects the medium fan control output is commanded on (grounded) and
excessive current draw is detected from the medium fan control circuit;
or when the medium fan control circuit is commanded off and voltage is
not detected from the medium fan control circuit. The PCM expects to
detect vehicle power voltage through the medium speed fan control relay
coil to the medium fan control circuit.
When the HFC_F PID reads YES, a concern is present. An open circuit or
short to ground can only be detected when the PCM is not grounding the
high fan control circuit. A short to voltage can only be detected when
the PCM is grounding the high fan control circuit.

NOTE:
Wheel-to-hub optimization is important. Clearance between
the wheel and hub can be used to offset or neutralize the Road Force® or
run-out of the wheel and tire assembly. For every 0.001 inch of
wheel-to-hub clearance, the Road Force® can be affected between 1 and 3
pounds depending on the tire stiffness.
