Title: A25A-FXS (COOLING): COOLING FAN SYSTEM: Cooling Fan Circuit; 2022 - 2024 MY RAV4 HV [12/2021 -        ]

Cooling Fan Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The ECM calculates an appropriate cooling fan speed based on the engine coolant temperature, air conditioning switch status, refrigerant pressure, engine speed and vehicle speed, and sends a signal to the cooling fan ECU (fan with motor assembly). The cooling fan ECU (fan with motor assembly) steplessly control the speed of the cooling fan based on the duty cycle signal sent from the ECM. By sending signals to the cooling fan ECU (fan with motor assembly) in accordance with the driving conditions and by controlling the cooling fan speed optimally with the ECM, both high cooling performance and quietness are ensured.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FAN WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY - ECM)

(a) Disconnect the A27 fan with motor assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the A24 ECM connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

3.

INSPECT ECM (RFC TERMINAL)

(a) Disconnect the A27 fan with motor assembly connector.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON (IG).

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the Engine Cooling Fan Duty Ratio.

Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

Tester Display

Control the Engine Cooling Fan Duty Ratio

(f) Operate the cooling fan motor (fan with motor assembly) using the Active Test function and measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Techstream Operation

Specified Condition

A27-2 (SI) - Body ground

Before Active Test (0%) → During Active Test (100%)

Before Active Test (0%): Resistance is stable → During Active Test (100%): Resistance fluctuates*

HINT:

*: Using the Active Test, duty control of the transistors in the ECM will be performed. Due to the duty control, resistance of the RFC terminal will be unstable during the Active Test. If the resistance is stable before the Active Test and fluctuates while performing the Active Test, it can be determined that the transistor is operating. If the transistor does not operate during the Active Test, the ECM may be malfunctioning.
