Condenser Fan: Description and Operation

System Outline

Fan Motor Operation

With the ignition SW turned on, the current through the HTR fuse flows to the FAN NO.1 relay (Coil side), FAN NO.2 relay (Coil side) and FAN NO.3 relay (Coil side).

1. Low Speed Operation
When the ignition SW is turned on and the A/C system is activated, the condenser fan motor and the radiator fan motor rotates at low speed.

When the A/C system is activated, the current from HTR fuse flows to the FAN NO.3 relay (Coil side) to TERMINAL 1 of the diode to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL (B) 2 of the engine control module causing the FAN NO.3 relay to turn on. As a result, the current through the CDS fuse flows to TERMINAL 5 of the FAN NO.3 relay to TERMINAL 3 to TERMINAL 2 of the condenser fan motor to TERMINAL 1 to TERMINAL 3 of the FAN NO.2 relay to TERMINAL 4 to TERMINAL 2 of the radiator fan motor to TERMINAL 1 to GROUND. As this flowing in series for the motors, the motors rotate at low speed.

2. High Speed Operation
When the pressure SW is turned on, the current through the HTR fuse flows to the FAN NO.1 and NO.2 relay (Coil side) to TERMINAL 3 of the pressure SW to TERMINAL 2 to GROUND, and the current through the HTR fuse flows to the FAN NO.3 relay (Coil side) to TERMINAL 1 of the diode to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL 3 of the pressure SW to TERMINAL 2 to GROUND. As a result, FAN NO.1, NO.2. and NO.3 relay is turned on. At the same time, the current from the RDI fuse flows to FAN NO.1 relay (Point side) to TERMINAL 2 of the radiator fan motor to TERMINAL 1 to GROUND, and the current from the CDS fuse flows to FAN NO.3 relay (Point side) to TERMINAL 2 of the condenser fan motor to TERMINAL 1 to TERMINAL 3 of the FAN NO.2 relay to TERMINAL 5 to GROUND.

As the current flowing in parallel for motors as above, the motors rotate at high speed.
When the engine coolant is too high, the current through the HTR fuse flows to the FAN NO.1 and NO.2 relay (Coil side) to TERMINAL (C) 9 (A/T), (E) 14 (M/T) of the engine control module to GROUND, and the current through the HTR fuse flows to the FAN NO.3 relay (Coil side) to TERMINAL 1 of the diode to TERMINAL 2 to TERMINAL (C) 9 (A/T), (E) 14 (M/T) of the engine control module to GROUND. As a result, FAN NO.1, NO.2 and NO.3 relay is turned on. At the same time, the current from the RDI fuse flows to FAN NO.1 relay (Point side) to TERMINAL 2 of the radiator fan motor to TERMINAL 1 to GROUND, and the current from the CDS fuse flows to FAN NO.3 relay (Point side) to TERMINAL 2 of the condenser fan motor to TERMINAL 1 to TERMINAL 3 of the FAN NO.2 relay to TERMINAL 5 to GROUND.

As the current flowing in parallel for motors as above, the motors rotate at high speed.
