P0693-COOLING FAN 2 CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW - 2.8L

P0693-COOLING FAN 2 CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW - 2.8L



For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.


Theory of Operation

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends a CAN bus message to the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) requesting high speed cooling fan operation. The TIPM grounds the coil for the High Speed Cooling Fan Relay through the high speed radiator fan control circuit. The High Speed Cooling Fan Relay then provides battery voltage to the high speed coil in the Cooling Fan Motor.


Possible Causes

(K175) RAD FAN HIGH SPEED CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE
(K175) RAD FAN HIGH SPEED CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
(W24) FUSED RUN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT OPEN
RADIATOR FAN HIGH RELAY
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)

1. CHECK FOR AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION


1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, clear all DTCs.
3. With the scan tool, read DTCs.


Does the scan tool display DTC: P0693-COOLING FAN 2 CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes


No


2. RADIATOR FAN HIGH RELAY


1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the Radiator Fan High Relay and substitute it with a known good relay.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, clear all DTCs.
5. Turn the ignition off.
6. Turn the ignition on.
7. With the scan tool, read DTCs.


Does the scan tool display DTC: P0693-COOLING FAN 2 CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW?

Yes


No


3. CHECK THE (W24) FUSED RUN RELAY OUTPUT CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the Radiator Fan High Relay.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check the (W24) Fused Run Relay Output circuit.


NOTE: The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.


Is the test light illuminated and bright?

Yes


No


4. CHECK THE (K175) RAD FAN HIGH SPEED CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the TIPM C3 harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K175) Rad Fan High Speed Control circuit.


Is the resistance above 10k Ohms?

Yes


No


5. CHECK THE (K175) RAD FAN HIGH SPEED CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN OR HIGH RESISTANCE



1. Measure the resistance of the (K175) Rad Fan High Speed Control circuit from the TIPM C3 harness connector to the Radiator Fan High Relay.


Is the resistance below 5.0 Ohms?

Yes


No


6. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM)




NOTE: Before continuing, check the TIPM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors.
2. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.


Were there any problems found?

Yes


No
