Relay engine light / cooling fan fault?

[Bick]

Hi all,

Hope someone can point me in the right direction with this one.

I have a 06 relay 2.0 hdi mark 1 and sometimes the one (near side) cooling fan comes on and the engine light also iluminates.

Any ideas citroen nuts out there, im a long standing Citroen lover but new to the Relay

Thanks in advance

Check the thread for anyone near you with a Lexia and see if they can check the ECU for faults.

Hi Xac,

I have looked and they are all miles away but thanks for the advise.

That really is odd for just one fan to come on. Normally they're wired in series via relays fore slow running and in parallel for fast running.

When the fan comes on is it running slowly or very fast?

Hi Jim,

the fan runs at high speed but the fault only lasts for about 10 seconds the the fan stops and the engine light goes out.

thanks for the reply mate.

On my HDI 110 when the first of both my fans was in the course of failing, it worked as follows. Switching on AC, neither fan ran because series circuit was broken. After perhaps 30 seconds, clearly ECU set high speed (parallel) mode. This lasted for a minute or so, then back to series. At first this was enough to get dodgy fan going, but brushes soon failed to contact at all, and the above cycle then repeated continuously. This soon put the kibosh on the other fan as well!

So fan(s) in the course of failing.

Hi Fred thanks for the reply but my relay does not have air con. My problem seems to be intermitent and only when first starting the vehicle.

as previously said could do with the codes read - this may and i only say may point me in the right direction lol
