For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.



Possible Causes
 
(N112) HIGH SPEED RADIATOR FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE
 
RADIATOR FAN MOTOR
 
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)
 




Diagnostic Test

1. VERIFY DTC IS ACTIVE

Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
Turn the ignition off, wait 10 seconds, and turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, actuate the Radiator Fan.
With the scan tool, read DTCs.

Does the scan tool display active: B10BF-CONDENSER FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH?

Yes


No

2. CHECK (N112) HIGH SPEED RADIATOR FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

Turn the ignition off
Disconnect the TIPM C11 harness connector.
Disconnect the Radiator Fan Motor harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Using a volt meter, measure the voltage on the (N112) High Speed Radiator Fan Control circuit at the Radiator Fan Motor harness connector.

Does the volt meter read 10 volts, or above?

Yes


No

3. CHECK (Z823) GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN

Turn the ignition off.
Reconnect the TIPM C8 harness connector.

NOTE: The test light should illuminate brightly. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.


Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, probe the (Z823) Ground circuit at the Condenser Fan Motor harness connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No

4. CHECK RADIATOR FAN MOTOR

Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, actuate the Radiator Fan.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (C123) Condenser Fan Control Output circuit at the Condenser Fan Motor harness connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly and flash on and off?

Yes


No

5. INSPECT RELATED WIRING

NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.


Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the related wiring harness and connectors.
Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

Were any problems found?

Yes


No
