- Engine running warmer than normal
- Cooling fan does not run at low speed
- Fan only runs at high speed or not at all
Common causes
- Faulty low-speed fan relay
- Fan resistor or module failure
- Wiring issue in relay circuit
- Corroded relay socket contacts
- PCM driver circuit malfunction
Diagnostic steps
- Test low-speed fan relay by swapping with identical relay
- Check relay socket for proper voltages
