How do i fix this problem. The cooling fan works, sort of, its just constantly on, until i shut the car off. i did the engine code test, turnin the key on and off, and thats what i came up with, and id really like to get this light turned off. thanks for the help

 

ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN
OPERATES ALL THE TIME.
1. Fan relay, powertrain control
module (PCM) or engine coolant
temperature sensor defective.
1. Refer to appropriate Powertrain
Diagnostic Procedures manual for
operation of the DRB scan tool.
Repair as necessary.
2. Check for low coolant level. 2. Repair as necessary.

 

Yup look in the TDP manual and break out that DRB scan tool, then repair as necessary... that explains everything. LOL j/k.

I'm not busting anyone's *****, but this is one of the reasons I am not copying and pasting the DCX stuff much on here, instead of using my own words. If you don't proof-read what it is saying, it can be a bit misleading to someone who doesn't know much about Neons, or cars in general, or to someone who is having a specific Neon-related problem and is looking for specific answers or ideas...

This one is probably a much less-involved fix that that... I would guess the coolant temperature sensor is a good place to start, then check the relays in the PCM... and go from there... I wouldn't worry about the manuals or scan tools, since you can complete what you need to do without them.

 

Or what he said. LOL

 

Hey at least I helped. No one else would touch this thread. Thats what this site is about helping people. LOL

I agree, we need more knowledgeable members helping people, instead of turning every thread into an OT thread all the time lol.

But good eye on helpin out, you are right, that's what its all aboot.

 

Thanks. I feel so special. LOL Naw serious Thanks Iowa.

 

P0480 Cooling Fan 1 Control Circuit Malfunction I have this code on my 2009 ram 1500 5,7 and the fan was replaced and the relays are clicking when I checked them with a nine volt battery. The water temp goes up and down depending on the drive conditions and the air temp. When I turn on the A/C the fan does not come on and when the engine water temp goes past 195 deg. the fan does not come on. I ned help !!!!

 

Hi Tony69, It looks like you never got a reply to this post, is that correct? I have the same issue right now. If you got this solved can you tell me what happened? I see that it is almost 2 years ago. Thanks
