'15 Jeep Wrangler - No Cooling Fan - TIPM & Fan Already Replaced

Рет қаралды 117,547

In todays video I have a look at a 2015 Wrangler that was dropped off from another shop that was having as hard time figuring out why the cooling fans did not work. The fan and TIPM had already been replaced and it still doesn't work! Let's see what the issue is.

Shop took the Jeep back and replaced the "new" fan with another new fan and all is well. We made the right call. Remember folks, "new" does not always mean "good." -Eric O. PS. I am feeling better now. Just had a few day bout with ol' rona

HD 3speed transmissions just finally got their first silenoid 1 or two years before that. You quit before cars needed diagnosing. Since they were pretty much still good for 5 years back then Wouldnt you say? I know because about exactly the same year I got out of it professionally. But I got out because the already underrated and underpaid proffession of an auto mechanic about to start a x100 more decline down the worlds steepest railroad incline

I mean before that they were all stuck pvc valve cam sensor fuel pump or sparkplugs and all three of them took 10sec at idle and step on the gas ¼ inch to diagnose or faster if it just didnt start. Outside of the obvious waterpump electric fan oil seals

I guess if this weren't a free warranty fix, you could connect a 1k resistor from the red B+ wire over to the PWM control wire of the fan(basically emulating Eric's test light), to act as a pull up, and the system would work again as factory pretty much... seems like just one internal connection/solder trace/joint is broken for the PWM pullup part... pity the fan will go to landfill over 1mm of copper connection...

I remember the good old days when we had a coolant temperature sensor on the thermostat housing and when it got hot the fan came on low speed , it got hotter the fan got faster and finally... chocks away prepare for take off !!! ...and that was summer towing in the mountains, maybe slightly overloaded ;) It never overheated tho. . I'm old and i still hose the bugs out of the radiator , im told thats not necessary with modern radiators, just set in my ways I guess. Nice video 👍

It would be interesting to know what that other shop told their customer. Did they quietly put in another fan and then told the customer "Yep, the new TIPM fixed the problem"? I know there are people in the world who would do such a thing, and I worry that the number of such people is higher than we think.

I checked alldata and can not find any theory and operation on the fan motor controls, nor does the p0480 troubleshooting chart mention that fan is responsible to supply 12v on the control wire. The oem wiring diagram doesn't show the TIPM switching the wire to ground. So how in the heck is a tech supposed to know how to troubleshoot this circuit? I know it was through a test light, but I think I would've been nervous to put my own 12v on the wire. I'll have to keep this info in the back of my head somewhere. edit: I found my own answer -- the info is hidden within the troubleshooting tree for the central gateway p0693 code.

@sidewayzmike Ай бұрын

Also, what is the program used to interrogate the jeep? Is it wytech? I kinda feel that it is critical to have it, so you can go in to the module and command the fan on, to diagnose. I don't really feel comfortable either bridging or unplugging ect sensor, to mimic overheat, and assume the fan is being commanded on. Rather do it thru a scanner.
