Coolant Fan Circuit Operation
The engine cooling system consists of the following components:
• | Auxiliary engine coolant fan #1 |
• | Auxiliary
engine coolant fan #2 |
• | Primary cooling fan temperature
switch |
• | Secondary cooling fan temperature switch |
• | A/C compressor refrigerant pressure switch |
• | Heater water auxiliary pump |
• | Engine coolant fan resistor |
Auxiliary Fans Low Speed, Electric Cooling Fan Low Speed
B+ is supplied to the heater water auxiliary pump whenever the ignition
switch is in the ON position. When the engine temperature reaches 100°C
(212°F), the primary cooling fan temperature switch stage 1 will close,
enabling the fan control relay K26 to energize. When the fan control relay
K26 energizes, B+ from fuse #52 is applied to the auxiliary coolant
fan #1 (auxiliary engine coolant fan #1 is wired in series with auxiliary
engine fan #2, through the normally closed contacts of the fan control
relay K52). This will cause the auxiliary coolant fans #1 and #2 to operate
at low speed. The fan control relay K26 will also supply B+ to the engine
coolant fan resistor, voltage passes through the resistor to the electric
coolant fan . The engine coolant fan resistor will cause the engine coolant
fan to operate at low speed. The primary cooling fan temperature switch stage
1 contacts will open when the coolant temperature reaches 95°C (203°F).
This will turn all three fans OFF, unless the air conditioning system is
ON.
Auxiliary Fans High Speed
When the engine temperature reaches 105°C (221°F), the secondary
cooling fan temperature switch contacts will close and energize the fan control
relays K52 and K28. When the fan control relay K52 energizes, it will ground
terminal B of auxiliary engine coolant fan #1. Terminal A of the auxiliary
engine fan #1 still receives B+ from fan control relay K26. The auxiliary
coolant fan #1 is no longer in series with the auxiliary engine coolant
fan #2 and will now operate at full speed. When the fan control relay K28
is energized, B+ from fuse #40 will be applied to terminal A of the auxiliary
engine coolant fan #2. The auxiliary coolant fan #2 is no longer in series
with the auxiliary engine coolant fan #1 and operates at full speed. Terminal
B of the auxiliary coolant fan #2 is permanently grounded to G103. With
the stage 1 contacts of the primary cooling fan temperature switch closed,
the electric cooling fan will continue to operate. The secondary cooling
fan temperature switch contacts will open when the coolant temperature reaches
100°C (212°F). This will cause the auxiliary engine coolant fans
#1 and #2 to operate at low speed.
Electric Coolant Fan High Speed
When the engine coolant temperature reaches 110° (230°F), the
primary cooling fan temperature switch stage 2 will close energizing the fan
control relay K67. When the fan control relay K67 energizes, B+ from fuse
#42 will be applied directly to terminal A of the engine coolant fan (bypassing
the engine coolant fan resistor ) and the engine coolant fan
will operate at full speed. All the other operations that were taking place
before the coolant temperature reached 110°C (230°F) will remain
in effect. The primary cooling fan temperature switch stage 2 contacts will
open when the coolant temperature reaches 105°C (221°F) and the primary
engine coolant fan will shut off.
At coolant temperatures above approximately 110°C (230°F), all
three coolant fans are operating at full speed. Only five of the six relays
operate at this time, unless the air conditioning system is turned
ON. In this case, the fan control relay K87 and the A/C compressor relay
K60 will also operate.
Engine Cooling Fans (A/C Operation)
When the A/C compressor is turned on, fan control relay K87 is energized
and the auxiliary engine coolant fans #1 and #2 will operate in low speed.
In order to prevent inadmissible high refrigerant pressure in the refrigerant
circuit, the auxiliary engine coolant fans #1 and #2 are switched from the
low speed to the high speed at refrigerant pressures above approximately
1,900 kPa (275 PSI). When the pressure drops below approximately 1,500 kPa
(217 PSI), the auxiliary engine coolant fans #1 and #2 are switched back
to the low speed.
Water Auxiliary Pump
When the ignition is in the OFF position and the engine coolant temperature
reaches 100°C (212°F), the primary cooling fan temperature switch
stage 1 will close, enabling the fan control relay K26 to energize. When
the fan control relay K26 energizes, B+ from fuse #52 is applied through
the normally closed auxiliary water pump relay K22, allowing the water auxiliary
pump to operate. The fan control relay K26 will also supply B+ to the engine
coolant resistor, allowing voltage to pass through the resistor to the electric
cooling fan. The engine cooling fan resistor will cause the engine cooling
fan to operate at low speed. When the engine coolant temperature reaches
95°C (203°F), the primary cooling fan temperature switch stage 1
will open, de-energizing fan control relay K26. This will turn the water
auxiliary pump and engine cooling fan OFF.
