Electric Cooling Fans - Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder & Town Car
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
The PCM monitors certain parameters (such as engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed,
AIC on/off status, A/C pressure, etc) to determine engine cooling fan needs
The PCM controls the fan speed and operation using a duty cycle output on the Fan Control -
Variable (FCV) circuit, The fan controller receives the FCV command and operates the
cooling fan at the speed requested (by varying the power applied to the fan motor). See FCV
DUTY CYCLE OUTPUT FROM PCM table.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: To trouble shoot mechanical cooling system components, see
GENERAL COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE article in GENERAL
INFORMATION.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Verify customer complaint by operating suspected system, Visually inspect for obvious signs
of mechanical and electrical damage. Inspect for blown fuses and damaged relays. See
WIRING DIAGRAMS , Inspect for loose or corroded connections, damaged wiring
harness and/or switches, Check for a broken or partially broken wire inside insulation, which
could cause system malfunction but prove good in a continuity/voltage check with system
disconnected. Ensure any aftermarket electronic equipment is properly installed. If fault is
found, repair as necessary. If no fault is found, see DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM .2004 Ford Crown Victoria
