Cooling Fan (L.H.) and Cooling Fan (R.H.) or A/C Condenser Fan Drive Circut

AB

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• The cooling fan motor drive control unit is pow-

ered from fusible link (2).

• The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU 

<A/T> uses input signals from the A/C switch, the 
water temperature sensor unit and the vehicle 
speed sensor <M/T> or the output shaft speed 
sensor <A/T> to control the speed of the cooling 
fan motor (L.H.) and the cooling fan motor (R.H.) 
<4G1 (Vehicles with A/C)> or A/C condenser fan 
motor <4G6>.

TROUBLESHOOTING

ENGINE COOLING

14-7

• The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU 

<A/T> controls the cooling fan motor drive control 
unit to activate the cooling fan motor (L.H.) and 
the cooling fan motor (R.H.) <4G1 (Vehicles with 
A/C)> or A/C condenser fan motor <4G6>.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The cause could be a malfunction of the cooling 

fan motor drive control unit power supply or earth 
circuit.

• If the communication line wiring harness between 

the cooling fan motor drive control unit and the 
engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T> is 
short-circuited to earth, the cooling fan motor 
(L.H.) and the cooling fan motor (R.H.) <4G1 
(Vehicles with A/C)> or the A/C condenser fan 
motor <4G6> will not rotate.

• The cause could also be a malfunction of the 

cooling fan motor (L.H.). <Vehicles without A/C>

• The cause could also be a malfunction of imput 

signal from the A/C switch, the water temperature 
sensor unit and the vehicle speed sensor <M/T> 
or the output shaft speed sensor <A/T> to the 
engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>.

• The cause could also be a malfunction of the 

cooling fan motor drive control unit or the 
engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS

• Malfunction of fusible link (2)

• Malfunction of fan control relay

• Malfunction of cooling fan motor (L.H.) <Vehicles 

without A/C>

• Malfunction of cooling fan motor drive control unit

• Malfunction of engine-ECU <M/T> or 

engine-A/T-ECU <A/T>

• Damaged wiring harness or connector

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the cooling fan motor (L.H.). 
<Vehicles without A/C>
Refer to 

P.14-24

.

Q: Is the cooling fan motor (L.H.) in good condition?

YES : 

Go to Step 2 .

NO : 

Replace the cooling fan motor (L.H.) (Refer 
to 

P.14-33

) <4G1> (Refer to 

P.14-35

<4G6>. Then go to Step 24 .

STEP 2. Measure the power supply voltage at 
cooling fan motor drive control unit connector 
A-18.

(1) Disconnect cooling fan motor drive control unit 

connector A-18 and measure wiring harness side 
connector.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between cooling fan motor 

drive control unit connector A-18 terminal 3 and 
body earth.

• The voltage should measure system voltage.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

(5) Connect cooling fan motor drive control unit 

connector A-18.

Q: Is the measured voltage system voltage?

YES : 

Go to Step 17 .

NO : 

Go to Step 3 .
