Radiator fan relays - 2009 Ford Flex

    What is your question ?

  • Anonymous Jun 24, 2012

    Ok, here's the deal. The radiator fans on my 2009 Flex don't seem to be working, but do work off and on, because I can hear them come on, so the motors must be fine. I'm thinking it could be the AC pressure switch, a fan relay, or even the brains...but I don't know how to narrow down the problem. Mechanics want to shotgun blast with a whole new assembly, but why if the motors still work?

You need a book. The fans come on when the pressure switch sends a signal to the BCM to energize the fan relays. If the freon charge is low the ac system won't build up enough high pressure to activate the fans. If the pressure switch is bad the computer won't know the pressure is high enough to need the fans. And so on.

P1491 diagnostics code for 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee


Trouble Code: P1491 You PCM does not sense current to radiator fan when it turns it on. Is the fan coming on or not? Usually not when you have this code. Problem can be with the fuse, relay, wiring or fan itself. First check the fuse. If good, next try swapping the relay with another one in the engine compartment relay box, such as the horn relay.
Let the car warm up and see if the fan will come on. If yes, get a new relay. If not, either use a test light to see if there is voltage at the fan connector when the engine is on and hot, or else test the fan motor by hotwiring it to the battery. If none of this works, please get back to me for how to troubleshoot the wiring.


Radiator Fan Control Relay Circuit Malfunction
Possible Causes:


Radiator fan control relay circuit is open or shorted to ground Radiator fan control relay circuit is open (test power to IGN) Radiator fan control relay is damaged or has failed PCM has failed
