Modification of Main Cooling Fan Relay
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this bulletin is to inform you of a modification made to the main cooling fan relay.
The negative surge current protector in the relay was changed from a diode to a resistor, in order to protect the ECM circuitry. If the ECM circuitry gets
damaged it could cause the main cooling fan to run continually.
When diagnosing an applicable vehicle for a main cooling fan running continually, follow the normal diagnostic procedures. If nothing is found, and the
vehicle is before the countermeasure~ replace the ECM and install a modified relay.
PRODUCTION LINE CHANGE
The modified relay was used in production May, 2006 starting with the VINs shown.
