Description and Operation

Description

[A/C Type]

The cooling fan operates in 2 steps (HIGH/LOW). The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the cooling fan based on coolant temperature, vehicle speed and air conditioning operation.

[Without Air Conditioning Type]

The cooling fan operates in 1 speed (HIGH). The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the cooling fan based on coolant temperature, vehicle speed and A/C operation.
