PINPOINT TEST KF: FAN CONTROL RELAYS
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.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

Refer to the DTC Fault Trigger Conditions.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
PCM P0480:00 Fan 1 Control Circuit: No Sub Type Information Sets if the PCM detects the voltage on the fan control variable (FCV) circuit is not within the expected range.

    Check 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. NOTE: The example below illustrates how the cl..

    Removal

    NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.

    Remove the timing chain.
    Refer to: Timing Chain (303-01C Engine - 2.0L Duratec-HE (129kW/175PS), Removal and Installation).
    Remove the bolts and VCT units.
    Discard the bolts.
