FAN TROUBLE SHOOTING & SYSTEM TESTING


AXXESS
NOTE:

Pathfinder and Pickup do not use electric cooling fans.

Warm engine to operating temperature. Turn on A/C and fan


switch. Both cooling fans should run at low speed. Disconnect coolant
temperature sensor connector. Both cooling fans should run at high
speed. If not, check power supplies, grounds, relays, radiator fan
switches and motors. If no faults are found, check component wiring.
See Fig. 2.

MAXIMA
Warm engine to operating temperature. Engage A/C clutch using
A/C switch in passenger compartment. Both cooling fans should run at
low speed. Disconnect coolant temperature sensor connector. Both
cooling fans should run at high speed. If not, check power supplies,
grounds, relays, radiator fan switches and motors. If no faults are
found, check component wiring. See Fig. 3.

PULSAR, SENTRA
Warm engine to operating temperature. Cooling fan should come
on. Engage A/C clutch using A/C switch in passenger compartment.
Condenser cooling fan should come on. If not, check power supplies,
grounds, relays, radiator fan switches and motors. If no faults are
found, check component wiring. See Fig. 4.

STANZA
Start engine. Engage A/C clutch using A/C switch in passenger
compartment. Both cooling fans should run at low speed. On models
equipped with auto. trans., turn A/C blower motor to "HI". One cooling
fan should run faster than the other. On all models, turn A/C off.
Warm engine to operating temperature. Both cooling fans should run. On
models equipped with auto. trans., if coolant temperature rises to
greater than 212 F (100 C), one cooling fan should run faster than the
other. If cooling fans do not function as described, check power
supplies, grounds, relays, radiator fan switches and motors. If no
faults are found, check component wiring. See Fig. 5.

240SX
Warm engine to operating temperature. Engage A/C clutch using
A/C switch in passenger compartment. Cooling fan should run. If not,
check power supplies, grounds, relay, radiator fan switch and motor.
If no faults are found, check component wiring. See Fig. 6.

300ZX

Warm engine to operating temperature. Cooling fan should run.


If not, check power supplies, grounds, relays, radiator fan switches
and motors. If no faults are found, check component wiring. See
Fig. 7.

COMPONENT TESTING
FAN MOTOR TEST
Disconnect electrical connector at fan motor. Supply battery
voltage and ground to fan motor connector. Motor should run. If not,
check for open or short in motor windings.

RELAYS TEST
1) Three different cooling fan relays are used. They are a
4 wire double contact relay (Blue), a 4 wire toggle select relay
(Black) and a 6 wire dual function relay (Brown). See Fig. 1.
2) Test relays by supplying ground and battery voltage across
the relay winding of the relay (terminals No. 1 and 2). When relay is
energized, continuity should be present between terminals No. 3 and 5,
and also terminals No. 6 and 7 of the Brown dual function relay. When
de-energized, continuity should exist between terminals No. 4 and 5 of
the Black toggling relay. Continuity should exist between terminals
No. 1 and 2 of all relays.

RADIATOR FAN SWITCH TEST


1) With coolant temperature less than rated activation
temperature, check continuity across terminals of radiator fan switch.
See RADIATOR FAN SWITCH TEMPERATURE table. Continuity should not
exist. Warm engine to operating temperature. Continuity should now
exist.
2) If continuity does not exist, remove radiator fan switch.
Check for coating of switch with foreign substance. Bench test switch
using a thermometer, a glass or metal container filled with coolant
mixture, and a heat source. Check resistance at rated temperature. If
switch does not function properly, replace switch.
