Pinpoint Tests KF: Fan Control Relays: Introduction

2021 Ford Transit-350 HD Base, Van Cargo Extended, 3.5L Eng VIN 8, AWDSECTION Introduction

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

  • CAC fan relay
  • fan control (FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4, FC5) relays
  • harness circuits: CACCF, FGC, LFC, MFC, HFC and VPWR
  • PCM (12A650)

Although the PCM output circuits are called LFC, MFC, and HFC, cooling fan operation is controlled by a combination of these outputs.
