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 | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
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 | Operation |
Connect the diagnostic equipment and check: - that there are no errors at the passenger compartment fan (motor + speed governor) - 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 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
| 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 and reconnect it correctly to for 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 | Operation |
Check whether the electrical wiring connections are loose: Disconnect/reconnect the connection to the engine mounting. Disconnect the connector and connect to a feeder (12V DC). In these conditions the motor should turn at the maximum speed indicating that the operating moduel (speed governor) is not working | End of diagnosis | 1. Electrical connections loose 2. The fan does not work 3. The operating module (speed governor) is not working | 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.

| 1 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION OF SWITCH AT MAXIMUM SPEED | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Check for loose electrical wiring connections, 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 resistor is broken. | Move on to Step 2 | 1. Electrical connections loose or damaged 2. Ceramic resistor with T.F. blown 3. The fan only works at the maximum speed | 1. Renew the electrical connections 2. Replace the ceramic resistor Op. 5040C48 A/C FAN MOTOR RESISTOR - R+R 3. Replace the ceramic resistor | |
| 2 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION OF FAN | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
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 turns at all speeds 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 SWTICH AT THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
Check for loose electrical wiring connections, disconnect visually inspecting for any damage to the connector contacts. Reconnect the connection to the selector at the climate control system control unit | End of diagnosis | 1. Electrical connections loose or damaged 2. Switch damaged or not working | 1. Renew the electrical connections 2. Replace the switch Op. 5040D10 AIR CONDITIONER CONTROLS SUPPORT - R+R OR REPLACE | |
