Radiator Cooling Fan Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
FAN SPEED SENSOR (FSS)
Cooling Fan Clutch With FSS
The FSS is a Hall-effect sensor that measures the cooling fan clutch speed by generating a waveform with a frequency proportional to the fan speed. If
the cooling fan clutch is moving at a relatively low speed, the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the cooling fan clutch speed increases,
the sensor generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the FSS as a feedback for closed loop control of
the cooling fan clutch.
