Lexus NX: Cooling Fan Circuit

Lexus NX Service Manual / Engine & Hybrid System / 2ar-fxe (cooling) / Cooling Fan System / Cooling Fan Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ECM calculates an appropriate cooling fan speed based on the engine coolant temperature, air conditioning switch condition, refrigerant pressure, hybrid coolant temperature, engine speed and vehicle speed, and sends the signals to the cooling fan ECU to regulate the cooling fans. The cooling fan ECU controls the cooling fan speed based on the duty ratio signal sent from the ECM. By basing its control on the operating conditions, the ECM can control the fan speed optimally using the cooling fan ECU, achieving both high cooling performance and quietness.
