AB : P0480. Radiator Cooling Fan Module Drive.

AB1 : CHECK THE PULSE WIDTH MODULATED SIGNAL TO THE COOLING FAN MODULE.
1. Disconnect the radiator cooling fan module electrical connector, FH108.
2. Run the engine to a temperature at which the cooling fans would operate.
3. Using a suitable meter, test for a pulse width modulated signal at FH108, pin 1 (WU)

Is a PWM signal present?

Yes

Install a new Cooling Fan Module. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.

No
Goto AB2

AB2 : CHECK CONTINUITY OF THE RADIATOR COOLING FAN MODULE SIGNAL WIRE.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the PCM electrical connector, PI01.
3. Measure the resistance between the Radiator Cooling Fan Module electrical connector FH108, pin 1 (WU) and the PCM electrical connector PI01, pin 1 (WU)

Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?

Yes

Install a new PCM.

No
Repair the circuit between the Radiator Cooling Fan Module electrical connector FH108, pin 3 (WU) and the PCM electrical connector PI01, pin 51 (WU) For additional information, refer to wiring diagrams. CLEAR the DTC. TEST the system for normal operation.
