Fan request from VCADS Pro:
Symptom:
Fan does not fully engage: Activate the fan and with
VCADS Pro. Check that the activation status is approved.
Check that the fan activates.
4
Climate Control System/VECU Check:
The A/C system can be disabled to isolate it from the
other systems. VECU ignores request from A/C when
parameter CX is set to “No”. Parameter "CX "Air
conditioning installed" normally requires connection to
Central systems to change this parameter. If Modem
line or Network connection is not connected to PC,
VCADS can be put into Intermediate storage function to
temporarily change this parameter for this check. Go the
tool bar in top of screen and select:
• Tools
• Options
• General
Click on the Intermediate storage box, once the check is in
place click "OK". A small PC is shown in the lower part of
the screen indicating that Intermediate Storage is active.
Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. Date Group No. Page
Service Bulletin 4.2005 263 25 10(19)
5
Open Parameter programming in Group 1 of VCADS.
Start test, select parameter CX "Air conditioning installed’
under Group view Vehicle or MID view 144.
6
If parameter CX is programmed to "Yes", temporarily
change to "NO" for this test, follow prompt and exit test.
7
With the engine running, open engine cooling fan test and
start test, take note of the fan speed after engine runs
for several minutes. This determines if fan deactivates
once CX is set to "NO".
8
If the engine fan was continuously running before this
parameter was changed and the fan deactivates after
the A/C was turned off (parameter CX) this indicates
either Climate Control System or VECU is requesting fan
activation.
9
Open Parameter programming in Group 1. Change
parameter CX back to "Yes", follow prompt and exit test.
See next step for VECU input checks.

Connect breakout harness 9813194 and measurement
box 9998699 between PA – connector on VECU and
harness.
12
Turn the ignition key switch to the “ON” position. Obtain
the following measurements:
13
A/C Pressure Switch Check:
Connect breakout harness 9998534 between A/C
pressure sensor and harness. Connect multimeter
J-39200 to pin 2 (red lead) and pin 4 (black lead).
14
Turn the ignition key switch to the “ON” position, if voltage
is above approx. 3.1 and up to 4.5 volts the climate
control interprets this as high refrigerant pressure (engine
fan requested). Normally with the A/C compressor "OFF"
the voltage signal is approx. 1 volt.

If the A/C pressure switch voltage is normal, check the
signal wire between Climate control and VECU for
open circuit. BSB2 (Climate control) - PA24 (VECU) =
< 5 ohms.

1
Ensure the fan blades have enough clearance with the
fan shroud. If not, the fan speed signal to the ECU may
be irregular and fault code set.
2
Inspect the fan blade for damage or cracks, if any damage
is found with the fan, the fan assembly must be replaced.
If no fault found continue fault tracing with next step
in checklist.
DANGER
Ensure the Engine is “NOT running” and the
Ignition key is “OFF” before these checks are
performed. Cooling fan may engage without warning.
Hands and/or fingers in the path of the fan blades can
be injured or severed. To avoid injury, keep hands and
fingers away from the fan while the engine is running.
2
Rotate the fan by hand with the fan belt installed. This
requires moderate force due to the fluid inside the drive
clutch. If the fan is rotated with little force when the clutch
is cold this indicates possible loss of fluid or a faulty clutch.
3
Pull the fan back and forth to check for bearing wear, if
any end play is felt this indicates bearing wear.
Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. Date Group No. Page
Service Bulletin 4.2005 263 25 14(19)
5
If there is any uneven feeling when the fan is rotated,
this may result in the fan clutch sticking and running
continuously. Replace the fan assembly if there are any
abnormalities in the fan drive. If no fault found continue
fault tracing with next step in checklist.
1
Disconnect the EB connector (top connector) from the
EECU. Check for damage on pin (EB49) on the EECU
and if the terminal is pushed back out of the socket
in the connector.

2
Connect adapter 9990014 and measurement box
9998699 between EECU and EB connector. Use
multimeter J-39200 and connect red test lead to pin
EB49 (control wire, ground) and black lead to EB59
(EECU main ground).
W2004490
DANGER
Cooling fan may engage without warning. Hands
and/or fingers in the path of the fan blades can be
injured or severed. To avoid injury, keep hands and
fingers away from the fan while the engine is running.
4
With the engine running, start the Engine Cooling Fan
test. Take note of the "Fan Status" symbol.
If symbol is gray:

DANGER
These checks are performed with Engine “running”
Cooling fan may engage without warning. Hands
and/or fingers in the path of the fan blades can be
injured or severed. To avoid injury, keep hands and
fingers away from the fan while the engine is running.
Note: Fault code MID 128 SID 33 FMI 4 is set during this
check, erase the fault code after test is performed.
2
Insert test wire to socket 3 of the breakout box and
connect the other end to ground cable on the alternator.
W2004522
3
Use a suitable photo tachometer to check fan speed,
apply reflective tape in an easily accessible location
on the fan blade.
4
Before actual test is performed, verify that 12 volts is
present at fan connector to ensure the power is supplied
to solenoid. Ignition key in the “ON” position and engine
not running, socket 4 - ground is approx. 12 volts.

5
Crank engine and run engine at high idle speed and
check that fan disengagement occurs.
First perform check with the engine speed at 1500 rpm’s
or higher, fan speed should be approx. 200 - 350 rpms.
Perform check with the engine idle speed. Fan speed
should be approximately 200 - 350 rpms.
Note: Fan disengagement could take up to 5 minutes
or more, depending on torque fluid temperature in fan
drive/clutch and engine speed.
W2004523
6
If fan does not disengage when power and ground are
applied to fan solenoid the following components may be
faulty. If the fan speed is not within the specified rpm’s
or does not disengage when fan solenoid is physically
grounded, the components listed below may be faulty.
• Terminals connections.
• Fan solenoid.
2
Use a suitable photo tachometer to check fan speed,
apply reflective tape in an easily accessible location
on the fan blade.
3
Crank engine and run engine at high idle speed for
several minutes and check fan speed. With the connector
disconnected the solenoid valve is closed and full fan
engagement should occur.

The fan speed when measured with photo tach should be
as described: Example:
Fan speed: approx. 115% - 125% of engine speed.
Engine speed 1500 rpm,s x 120% = 1800 rpm’s fan
speed.
Set engine speed to approx. 1500 rpm’s and measure
fan speed.
Fan speed should be approx. 1725 - 2000 rpm’s.

If the fan does not fully engage when the 7-pin connector
is disconnected the fan assembly must be replaced. Refer
to service information, E- Viscous Fan Replacement13.
