FAN'' WILL NOT WORK AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS
The fan does not work when the speed control selector is used.
| Results of the tests | ||||
| 1 | SPEED SELECTOR CHECK | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Check that the fan is working at the maximum speed: if it only works at the maximum speed, the resistor should be replaced. Check whether the resistor thermal fuse is broken by measuring the electrical continuity at the thermal fuse securing points. | Move on to Step 2 | Failed operation of speed selector | Replace the ceramic resistor | |
| 2 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION OF FAN | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
| Check for loose connections in the electrical wiring. Disconnect/reconnect the connection to the engine support. Check that it rotates at all speeds by activating them using the switch. If it does not rotate at the maximum speed, check the vehicle fuse. If the defect persists, before replacing it, provide a direct battery supply and check that it rotates at maximum speed. | End of diagnosis | Electrical connections loose | Renew the electrical connections | |
| Fan not working | Replace the fan | |||
The fan does not work when the speed control selector is used.
| Results of the tests | ||||
| 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 in the AUTO position, adjust the temperature to 22 °C, position the recirculation to outside air intake and the distribution to the front position. Adjust the fan button (+ side) gradually increasing the speed set and then decreasing the speed using the (- side) button and check the effect on the variation of the air flow rate | 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:
| End of diagnosis | Error at the passenger compartment fan. | Move on to Step 3 | |
| Short circuit error | Move on to Step 3 | |||
| 3 | CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATION OF FAN | All OK | Problems encountered | Operation |
Check whether the electrical wiring connections are loose: disconnect/reconnect the connection to the engine mounting. Repeat the checks using the Examiner and check whether the fan error reoccurs. Carry out the tests described in Test 5040CE in order See Test 5040C AIR CONDITIONER BOX AND COMPONENTS | End of diagnosis | Malfunction of the regulator built into the fan motor support | Replace the fan motor support | |
