ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
Inspection
| CHECK COOLING FAN ECU (NO.1,NO.2) |
![]() ![]() |
Inspect the input voltage.
Disconnect the cooling fan ECU connectors.
Turn the ignition switch on.
Measure the voltage between terminals +B and GND.
- Standard voltage:
- 8 to 15 V
- If the voltage is not as specified, check the fusible links, fuses, wire harness and fan relay.
Reconnect the connectors.
- HINT:
- Wire harness condition is diagnosed by cooling fan operation.
Cooling fan operation

In continuous operation
Open
Check the HV control ECU power source.
Check RFC1 and RFC2 signal generation.
- NOTICE:
- Perform this inspection when coolant temperature is 82°C (180°F)
Connect an oscilloscope to terminals RFC1 (RFC2) and E1 of the HV control ECU.

Check the signal generation and measure the current according to the value(s) in the table below.

- HINT:
- If RFC1 (RFC2) signal is not as specified, replace the HV control ECU.
- When the fan amperage has a problem even if the RFC1 (RFC2) signal that has no problem, replace the cooling fan ECU.
- If RFC1 (RFC2) signal is not as specified, replace the HV control ECU.
