2013 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, Automatic CVT TransSECTION Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The engine control module (ECM) commands the fans ON in either high speed or low speed, depending on cooling requirements. In low speed, both fans are turned ON at a reduced speed. High speed has both fans turned ON at full speed.

In low speed operation, the ECM applies ground to the coil side of the cooling fan 1 relay. This energizes the coil and applies voltage directly to the left cooling fan through the switch side of the low relay. The left fan is connected in series to the right cooling fan through the normally closed contacts of the fan 2 relay. The series circuit operates both fans at low speed.

In high speed operation, the ECM applies a ground to the coil side of the cooling fan 3 relay, the fan 2 relay, and the fan 3 relay. When energized, the fan 3 relay applies voltage directly to the right cooling fan through the switch side of the relay. Simultaneously, the fan 1 relay and the fan 2 relay provide ignition voltage and a direct path to ground for the left cooling fan. With both fans connected in a parallel circuit, each fan receives full voltage and operates at high speed.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
