Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: Cooling fan control
System Diagram

System Description
INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART

*1: The ECM determines the start signal status by the signals of engine speed
and battery voltage.
*2: This signal is sent to ECM via the CAN communication line.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM controls the cooling fan corresponding to the vehicle speed, engine
coolant temperature, refrigerant
pressure, and air conditioner ON signal. The control system has 4-step control
[HIGH/MIDDLE/LOW/OFF].
Cooling Fan Operation

Cooling Fan Relay Operation
The ECM controls cooling fan relays in the IPDM E/R via the CAN communication
line.
