DTC P0480-00; Cooling Fan Control Circuit Malfunction: Notes

DTC P0480-00; COOLING FAN CONTROL CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION - DETECTION CONDITION & POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P0480:00 Cooling fan control circuit malfunction
DETECTION CONDITION
  • The PCM monitors the input voltage from the fan control module. If the voltage at the PCM terminal 2X remains low or high for 5 s, the PCM determines that the fan control circuit has a malfunction.

    Diagnostic support note

  • This is a continuous monitor (other).
  • The check engine light does not illuminate.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is not available.
  • Snapshot data is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION Not applicable
POSSIBLE CAUSE
  • Fan control module connector or terminals malfunction
  • Cooling fan relay malfunction
  • Short to ground or open circuit in cooling fan relay power supply circuit
    • Short to ground in wiring harness between MAIN 200 A fuse and cooling fan relay terminal A
    • MAIN 200 A fuse malfunction
    • FAN3 40 A fuse malfunction
      • Open circuit in wiring harness between battery positive terminal and cooling fan relay terminal A
  • Short to ground or open circuit in cooling fan relay power supply circuit
    • Short to ground in wiring harness between ENGINE3 15 A fuse and cooling fan relay terminal B
    • ENGINE3 15 A fuse malfunction
      • Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay terminal C and cooling fan relay terminal B
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between fan control module terminal C and body ground
  • Short to ground in wiring harness between cooling fan relay terminal C and fan control module terminal A
