Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Checking the function of the combustion fan




- Ignition on
- Activate the combustion fan.
Listen for a buzzing sound which indicates that the combustion fan is running.





Does the combustion fan function?

Yes - Intermittent fault

No - Checking the connectors

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the connectors








- Ignition off
- Check the electrical terminals on the combustion fan and the control module connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation and remedy.
Check for damage carefully
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on
- Activate the combustion fan.
Listen for a buzzing sound which indicates that the combustion fan is running.
If the combustion fan now operates, the cause of the fault was loose connections in the connectors.

Other information:
- To access the control module or connect the breakout box, see Connecting the breakout box Connecting the Breakout Box
- To access the combustion fan, see Fuel injection nozzle / fan motor / pressure equalizer, replacing Fuel Injection Nozzle / Fan Motor / Pressure Equalizer, Replacing
- Checking wiring and terminals Checking Wiring And Terminals.





Does the combustion fan function?

Yes - Fault Found

No - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components and wiring
Check the cable between control module terminal #10 and the signal terminal for the combustion fan (the black lead from the fan). Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Check the cable between control module terminal #11 and the voltage terminal for the combustion fan (the red cable from the fan). Check for an open-circuit.
If no faults are found in the wiring, the combustion fan must be replaced. See Fuel injection nozzle / fan motor / pressure equalizer, replacing Fuel Injection Nozzle / Fan Motor / Pressure Equalizer, Replacing.

Note! Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) CEM-5F3A Water pump, signal and / or diagnostic trouble code (DTC) CEM-5F3F Fuel pump (FP), signal may be stored in the event of a fault in the power cable.

Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After the repair it is necessary to check that the fault has been rectified.








- Ignition off.
- Connect connector, install components etc.
- Ignition on.
- Activate the heater fan.
Listen for a buzzing sound indicating that the heater fan is working.





Is the heater fan working?

Yes - VERIFIED

Information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - FAULT-TRACING FAILED

No - Attempt New Test

Intermittent fault
Check the electrical terminals on the combustion fan and the control module connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the cable between control module terminal #10 and the signal terminal for the combustion fan (the black lead from the fan). Check for an intermittent open-circuit. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground.
Check the cable between control module terminal #11 and the voltage terminal for the combustion fan (the red cable from the fan). Check for an intermittent open-circuit.
Remedy as necessary.

Information

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
