FAN DOES NOT WORK AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS
The fan does not work when the speed control button is used.
| TEST RESULTS | ||||
| 1 | CHECK ON OPERATION OF FAN BY CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
|---|---|---|---|---|
With the engine started, set the climate control system control unit to the AUTO position, adjust the temperature to 22 °C, place the recirculation at the outside air intake and the distribution to the front position. Adjust the fan button (+ side), gradually increasing the speed set and then decrease the speed using the button (- side), thereby checking the effect of the air flow rate variation. | End of diagnosis | The fan does not work | Move on to Step 2 | |
| 2 | CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
Connect the diagnostic equipment and check: - that there are no errors at the passenger compartment fan; - that there are no errors linked to the fan (short circuit errors). | Move on to Step 4 | 1. Error at the passenger compartment fan. 2. Short circuit error. 3. Fan operating module error. | 1. Move on to Step 4 2. Move on to Step 3 3. Move on to Step 4 | |
| 3 | CHECK ON CLIMATE CONTROL NODE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
| With the engine switched off, remove the control unit from the dashboard support and disconnect the connector, visually inspecting for any damage at the connector contacts. Then reconnect it correctly to check for any false contacts. | Move on to Step 4 | Electrical connections loose or damaged. | Restore the loose or damaged electrical connections | |
| 4 | CHECK ON ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND FAN OPERATION | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
Check whether the electrical wiring connections are loose. Disconnect/reconnect the connection to the engine mounting. Disconnect the connector and connect to a feeder. In these conditions the motor should rotate at the maximum speed, indicating that the operating module is not working | End of diagnosis | 1. Electrical connections loose. 2. The fan does not work. 3. The operating module does not work. | 1. Renew the correct connections 2. Replace the fan Op. 5040C30 AIR CONDITIONING FAN - R.R. 3. Replace the fan operating module | |
The fan does not work when the speed control selector is used.
| TEST RESULTS | ||||
| 1 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION OF MAXIMUM SPEED RELAY | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Check for loose electrical wiring connections and disconnect, visually inspecting for any damage to the connector contacts. Reconnect the connection to the resistor. Check that the fan is working at the maximum speed: if it only works at the maximum speed, the relay is broken. Check whether the resistor has blown by checking the electrical continuity | Move on to Step 2 | 1. Electrical connections loose or damaged. 2. Relay broken. 3. Resistance values faulty. | 1. Renew the electrical connections 2. Replace the ceramic resistor Op. 5040C48 3. Replace the ceramic resistor Op. 5040C48 | |
| 2 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION OF FAN | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
Check whether the electrical wiring connections are loose Disconnect, visually inspecting for any damage to the connector contacts. Reconnect the connection to the engine mounting. Check that it rotates at all speeds by activating it using the switch. | Move on to Step 3 | 1. Electrical connections loose or damaged. 2. Fan not working. | 1. Renew the electrical connections 2. Replace the fan | |
| 3 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION OF SPEED SELECTOR AT THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
Check for loose electrical wiring connections and disconnect, visually inspecting for any damage to the connector contacts. Reconnect the connection to the selector at the climate control system control unit. Check whether the selector on the control unit is interrupted by checking the electrical continuity | Move on to Step 4 | 1. Electrical connections loose or damaged. 2. Fan not working. 3. Power supply to the relays not correct. | 1. Renew the electrical connections 2. Replace the speed selector knob 3. Replace the climate control system control unit | |
| 4 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION OF FAN MAXIMUM SPEED OPERATING RELAY. | ALL OK | PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED | ACTION |
Check whether the electrical wiring connections are loose: Disconnect, visually inspecting for any damage to the connector contacts. Reconnect the connection to the relay. Check that the relay is working properly by providing it with a direct 12 V supply. | End of diagnosis | 1. Electrical connections loose or damaged. 2. Maximum speed operating relay not working | 1. Renew the electrical connections 2. Replace the maximum speed operating relay | |
