To diagnose an electrical circuit problem with the cooling fan, it's important to check for blown fuses before proceeding. Cooling fans are controlled by a fan module, which is managed by the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). If the engine is overheating and the cooling fan isn't activating as the temperature rises excessively, first inspect the fuses located in the underhood fuse relay box. If the fuses are intact, carefully examine all wiring and connections associated with the fan motor. If no obvious issues are found, the problem might be related to the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor, the cooling fan control module, or the PCM itself. It's advisable to have the cooling fan system and circuit professionally diagnosed by a dealer service department or a repair shop equipped with the necessary diagnostic equipment. Before beginning any work, disconnect the negative battery terminal and drain the cooling system, saving the coolant if it's still in good condition. For access, detach the upper radiator hose from the radiator and lift the vehicle securely on jackstands. Remove the splash shield beneath the radiator and the air filter housing and duct. Depending on the engine type, additional steps may be required. For 2.0L four-cylinder engines, remove the charge air adapter cooler gasket and charge air adapter heat shield, replacing them during reinstallation. For V6 engines, tasks include disconnecting the upper coolant hose retainer, detaching the block heater wire harness clip from the engine electrical wire harness, and moving aside the electrical wire harness attached to the fan shroud. On 2008 and later models, upper coolant hose retention is managed by hose supports, which should be released using a flat head screwdriver. Disconnect the electrical wire harness clips from the fan motors, remove all clips securing the wire harness to the fan shroud assembly on both sides, and shift the wire harness aside. For 2010 and later models, detach the hood release cable from the fan shroud and reposition it. Lastly, remove the fan shroud mounting bolts, both on the driver's and passenger's sides, and lift the fan shroud assembly out of the vehicle. To complete the installation, follow the reverse order of removal steps, ensuring to use a new charge air adapter gasket and heat shield for 2.0L four-cylinder engines. Reconnect the battery, refill the cooling system, bleed any air from it, start the engine, and verify that there are no leaks and that the cooling fan operates correctly.
