Important: DTC P1482, for 4.2L (LL8), and P0480, for 5.3L (LM4), will set when the cooling fan relay is disconnected.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect the cooling fan relay.
3. Connect a 10 amp fused jumper wire between the cooling fan clutch supply voltage circuit of the cooling fan clutch and the ignition 3 voltage circuit of the cooling fan relay.
4. Start the engine.
5. Raise engine speed to 2000 RPM for 2 minutes.

Does the cooling fan clutch engage?
Go to Step 4

Important: Continuously excessive fan noise is due to the PCM commanding the cooling fan clutch to 100% engaged or a mechanical failure. If the fan noise decreases during this step, then this DTC is due to an electrical malfunction. Replacing the cooling fan clutch will not correct the condition.

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove the 10 amp fused jumper wire.
3. Install cooling fan relay.
4. Disconnect the cooling fan clutch connector.
5. Start the engine.
6. Raise engine speed to 2000 RPM for 2 minutes.

Does the cooling fan clutch disengage?
