Kia Carens RP (2013-2018) Service Manual / Engine Mechanical System / Cooling System / Cooling Fan Description and operation

Description

[Air conditioning type]

The cooling fan operates in 2 stages (HIGH/LOW). The engine control module (ECM) controls the cooling fan according to the coolant temperature, vehicle speed and A/C operation.

[Non-Air conditioning type]

The cooling fan operates in 1 stages (HIGH). The engine control module (ECM) controls the cooling fan according to the coolant temperature, vehicle speed and A/C operation.

[Cooling fan operation conditions]

A/C switch	A/C pressure [kgf/cm² G (psi G)]	Vehicle speed [km/h (mph)]	Coolant temperature [°C (°F)]	Cooling fan speed
