HOW TO TEST RADIATOR FAN MODULE CONTROL BOX ?

HOW TO TEST FAN MODULE CONTROL BOX ?
►► Ms908p Scanner: amzn.to/2LCi9AG
In this video we will demonstrate how to test radiator fan and radiator fan control module. We used MS908P Scanner to test the cooling fan control module. This procedure will work on most modern cars. In some cases you will be able to test the different speeds as well. As you can see this fan control module has 8 different speeds.

wtf? ok, so how do you test the module without one of these complicated pieces of mo-shinery. do you not think that someone willing to lay out the cash to buy one of these diagnostic computers would be a fairly good mechanic and would know how to do a basic test on a fan module? although there may be a small number of people with more cash than sense and plan on buying one of these and then learn how to use it, but more likely than not would end up turning their car into a 4000 pound paper weight without prior training. this video is totally useless to someone without this diagnostic machine? so, what was the motive in posting this? after watching this i still have no idea of how to test the fan module. guess i'll just unplug it and see how the fan and motor reacts.

[@jaimedpcaus1]

Hi, That's a cool device. It's just more expensive than I thought, but seems tremendously useful. I have a Toyota Sienna 2011 and when I try to turn on the ac nothing shows up on the screen nor the fan starts. When I press the fan up or down, nothing is shown on the screen nor the fan starts. This only happens for the front. The back works OK. Thx.

[@TheCunningStunt]

To buy these tools it's cheaper to just straight out replace the control module. Heck can buy the whole Thermo fan setup for a fraction of what these tools cost lol.

[@shaggymike03]

At first I thought buying such tools would make things a lot easier but I was so wrong. I use a similar tool of the same brand probably a low end with the same interface and I have an issue with my VW Polo 1.2 petrol where the radiator fan runs loud as soon as I turn the engine on and stays on at full speed (more than it should) and then the dash lights, headlights, radio display starts flickering. The fan turns off only when I swift the engine off. And this tool tells me to check the generator, battery, fuses and doesn't say anything about fan. All it tells me the voltage is low which I can see. I replaced the battery first and then the alternator and the issue is yet there.

[@endurofan9854]

@ShaggyMike, hus radiator fans connection might have been altered, bypassed to a direct connection in accessory wire, its done here in philippines when the fan ecm malfunctions

[@eduardoenriquebarreto6269]

Perfect video I have an issue with the fans of a 2014 toyota camry xle V6 the problem is that I have two positives after the fan's connectors but when I disconnect the Fans in the module exit I have positive and negative so the ground is missing once I connect the fan's connector to the module

[@meganjay30]

Thanks for the video. My 2014 fiesta ST's fan works at low speed but not high speed, it use to but not anymore. I checked fan relay and fuses and they all fine. Ford seem to have never heard of my problem.

Should be on the radiator fan where the wires power it

[@ZeroGHome24]

Hi there, really need a second opinion. My focus fans are not working at any speed. I have changed the thermostat and housing at front of the engine. I have also changed the temperature switch. I wired my fan motor directly to the battery and it kicked in. I don't have a diagnostic computer to run your test but I have checked and the symptoms I'm having is the fan control module faulty. From your experience what would you think. Don't worry if it's wrong, I just haven't got £500 to give to the main dealer to rectify a fault that might take them 5mins lol

It's probably the fan module

This let's me know how my shop could or should be testing my module instead of just replacing it or saying it's all good. If my shop just says "well they turned on for me" but don't have the right testing equipment I may go elsewhere.

What happens if I connect the fan directly to the wire coming from the car to the madual

I know a lil mechanicin, and what would happen is, that wire would be connected directly to the fan.

Ok I have voltage on the two main wires but nothing on the control wire. What controls that ? Is there a fuse or that comes right out of ecm ?

[@pedrovaldez9559]

Isn't that the signal wire? The wire that sends a signal to the fan to turn on when the engine is hot? If so, wouldn't it be going to a sensor? Just asking. I'm trying to find a solution to my own problem as well. Maybe that same wire you're asking about is what's not allowing my fan to work properly.

[@jonrenoe450]

@@pedrovaldez9559 i have found out the signal wire is controlled by a cuircit board that gives it a duty cycle . When I unplug the signal wire and leave the power wires on the fan runs full speed. So I tried replacing the module tha is mounted on the fans. A genuine module from the dealer. And fans took off and started working. I should’ve bought a cheap fan control module off of Amazon

I have a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I've been on KZbin and searching on Google for help. Maybe someone here can help. This video doesn't show how to test the cooling fan module without a expensive scanning tool. Nor does it show how to replace it. The problem is that my fan is not going at full speed when it needs to cool the engine down. Sometimes it doesn't turn on. I unplugged the fan and I ran it directly to my 20 volt dewalt battery that comes off my impact drill. The fan work perfectly well! So, I know there's nothing wrong with the fan. Now I'm trying to work my way back to the power source. The fuse is good. From the fuse to the module there has to be a.problem that's not allowing the fan to operate properly like it's supposed to. Anyone have the same problem or has a solution? I was thinking about unplugging the fan and connect it directly to the headlights or something else so when the car turns on the fan turns on and is able to cool the engine down properly.
