ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT COOLING FAN ECU

(a) Check and ensure the following conditions:

(1) The power switch is off.

(2) The engine coolant temperature is less than 92°C (198°F).

(3) The auxiliary battery voltage is between 11 and 14 V.

(4) The A/C switch is off.

(b) Connect the pickup of a clamp-on ammeter around 1 of the 2 wires for the cooling fan motor.

(c) Turn the power switch on (IG) and wait for approximately 10 seconds. Check that the fan does not operate.

(d) Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

(e) Start the engine. Check that the fan does not operate with the engine idling.

HINT:

  • Make sure that the engine coolant temperature is less than 92°C (198°F).
  • Turn the A/C switch off.

(f) Check that the fan operates when the A/C switch is turned on.

DESCRIPTION DTC B2282 is stored when the vehicle speed signal sent by the combination meter assembly via direct line and the vehicle speed signal sent via CAN communication do not match. DTC B2283 is stored when a malfunction in the vehicle speed sensor is detected. DTC No. Detection Item DTC

 Data List / Active Test

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST ACTIVE TEST HINT: Using the Techstream to perform Active Tests allows relays, VSVs, actuators and other items to be operated without removing any parts. This non-intrusive functional inspection can be very useful because intermittent operation may be discovered before parts o
