INSPECTION PROCEDURE 6: Condenser Fan does not Operate

Radiator Fan and Condenser Fan Drive Circuit
Inspection Procedure 3

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The cause could be a malfunction of the condenser fan motor or of the fan controller.

CIRCUIT OPERATION
- The fan controller is powered from fusible link number 2.
- The ECU [M/T] or PCM [A/T] judges the required revolution speed of radiator fan motor and condenser fan motor using the input signals transmitted from A/C switch, automatic compressor controller, vehicle speed sensor and engine coolant temperature sensor. The ECU [M/T] or PCM [A/T] activates the fan controller to drive the radiator fan motor and condenser fan motor.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
- Malfunction of condenser fan motor
- Malfunction of fan controller
