Checking the fuse




- Ignition off.
Check that fuse 9 in the integrated relay / fusebox in the engine compartment is intact.
Replace if necessary.





Was a fault detected?

Yes - Verification

No - Checking the power supply

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the power supply








- Ignition off
- Disconnect air conditioning (A/C) condenser fan relay 2/13
- Ignition on.
Connect a voltmeter between air conditioning (A/C) condenser fan relay base terminal #1 and ground.













The voltmeter should read battery voltage.

OK - Checking the signal cable

Not OK - Checking the power supply

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the signal cable




- Ignition off.
Connect an ohmmeter between air conditioning (A/C) condenser fan relay base terminal #2 and ground.









The ohmmeter should read infinite resistance.
