Causes
- Power or ground failure to the fan 3 control module
- Blown fuse or faulty relay supplying the fan or module
- Open, shorted, or corroded connector/wiring to the fan module
- CAN/LIN bus wiring fault, short to battery/ground, or missing termination
- Faulty fan control module
- ECU/software fault or module not configured/initialized
Symptoms
- Cooling fan 3 does not operate or runs unpredictably
- Poor engine cooling or elevated engine temperature under load
- Reduced A/C performance or condenser cooling issues
- MIL/dashboard warning related to network or cooling system
- Related DTCs for network communication or other fan circuits
What to check
- Retrieve freeze frame data and full DTC list from all modules
- Check battery voltage and measure key-on voltage at the fan module power pin
- Inspect and test associated fuses and fan relays
- Visually inspect connectors and harness for corrosion, damage, or water intrusion
- Use a scan tool to attempt to communicate with the Fan 3 module
- Check CAN/LIN bus continuity and resistance between termination points
Signal parameters
- CAN bus idle level: CAN High ≈ 2.5 V, CAN Low ≈ 2.5 V (differential ≈ 0 V); dominant state differential ≈ 2.0 V
- Typical CAN bus bit rates: 250 kb/s or 500 kb/s (verify OEM value)
- Bus termination resistance: ~60 ohms across CAN H and CAN L (two 120Ω in parallel)
- Expected fan control message frequency: periodic control messages (varies by OEM, typically 10–100 Hz)
- Module supply voltage at key ON/run: battery voltage within ~0.5 V
- Ground resistance: low (near 0 Ω); large resistance indicates poor ground
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record U067C and any other stored codes and freeze frame data from all modules.
- Check vehicle battery voltage; verify stable supply (12.4–12.8 V resting, >11 V during cranking depending on vehicle).
- Inspect fuses and relays for the fan circuits and module power; replace if suspect.
- Visually inspect connector at Fan 3 module and harness to body/engine; disconnect, inspect pins for corrosion or damage, reconnect securely.
- Attempt communication with the Fan 3 module using manufacturer scan tool; note if module appears on network or is absent.
- Measure power and ground at the module connector with key ON; confirm proper voltages and low ground resistance.
- Check CAN bus wiring: measure termination resistance, check for short to battery/ground, verify continuity to other modules on same bus.
- Use an oscilloscope to observe CAN High and CAN Low while waking the network; look for valid message frames and absence of excessive noise or stuck dominant states.
- If wiring, power and bus are good but module is non-communicative, try a known-good module or bench test the suspect module per OEM procedures.
- If module replacement is required, program/configure per manufacturer instructions, clear codes and perform functional test and road/idle test to confirm repair.
Likely causes
- Loose/corroded connector at the fan control module
- Damaged CAN bus wiring near the fan or splice point
- Blown fuse or defective fan relay affecting module power
- Failed fan 3 control module
Fault status
Status
Lost communication with Fan 3 control module on vehicle network; fan control unavailable.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-2.5 hours
