1639-17 E1363 (1) Low Engine Cooling Fan Speed The code is logged.
N/A 544-2 Engine Cooling Fan Speed Sensor : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect The code is logged.
N/A 544-8 Engine Cooling Fan Speed Sensor : Abnormal Frequency, Pulse Width, or Period The code is logged. The engine cooling fan speed sensor provides a signal to the Electronic Control Module (ECM). The ECM controls fan speed by varying the current to the fan control solenoid.The engine cooling fan speed sensor receives a supply voltage of 5.0 0.5 VDC from the ECM. The sensor outputs a frequency that is directly proportional to fan speed. The sensor generates a signal pulse for each revolution of the fan. The output frequency varies between 5 Hz to 180 Hz over the speed range between 50 rpm and 1800 rpm.
