Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: 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.

PROCEDURE

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

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

(e) Check the operation of the cooling fan while operating it using the Techstream.

OK:

A

C

GO TO STEP 8

B

(a) Disconnect the A20 fan with motor assembly connector.

(b) Disconnect the C56 ECM connector.

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

Standard Resistance:

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (FAN WITH MOTOR ASSEMBLY - ECM)

OK

(a) Disconnect the A20 fan with motor assembly connector.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / 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:

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.

REPLACE ECM

OK

(a) Disconnect the A20 fan with motor assembly connector.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

NG

GO TO STEP 7

OK

(a) Disconnect the A20 fan with motor assembly connector.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage: Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition A20-4 (IGS1) - A20-2 (E1) Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V

NG

(a) Disconnect the A20 fan with motor assembly connector.

(b) Remove the EFI-MAIN NO. 1 relay from the engine room relay block and junction block assembly.

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

Standard Resistance:

OK

CHECK ECM POWER SOURCE CIRCUIT
