P1481moderate severityPowertrain
Engine Cooling Fan Signal Low
on 2024 Volvo EX30 Single Motor RWD · RWD
What this code means
The ECM detected that the engine cooling fan speed feedback signal is lower than expected for the commanded fan speed. The fan may be running slower than requested or not at all.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Engine running hotter than normal
- A/C not cooling efficiently
- Fan noise abnormal
Common causes
- Cooling fan motor degradation
- Fan blade obstruction
- Wiring resistance in fan circuit
- Fan relay contact degradation
- Fan control module signal issue
Diagnostic steps
- Test fan motor operation at various speeds
- Check for physical obstruction of fan
- Test fan circuit wiring resistance
- Test fan relay
- Monitor fan speed feedback signal
Repair notes
Replace the cooling fan motor if speed output is below specification.
