How to replace cooling fan on 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander?

The procedure is as below :---

Removal & Installation

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
   CAUTION

   Wait at least 90 seconds after the negative battery cable is disconnected to prevent possible deployment of the air bag.
   
   
2. Drain the engine coolant.
3. Remove the air cleaner assembly.

4. Disconnect the rubber hose from the reserve tank and radiator.
5. Matchmark the installed positions of the hose and hose clamp, then disconnect the upper radiator hose.
6. Remove the radiator fan motor assembly.
7. Disassemble the fan, fan motor and shroud.

To install:

1. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
   
   
   During installation of the upper radiator hose, insert the hose as far as the projection of the water inlet fitting, water outlet fitting or radiator. Align the matchmark on the hose and hose clamp, then connect the hose.

Electric Engine Fan

Control Module

Removal & Installation

For fan control module removal and installation, refer to the Radiator Replacement procedure in the Engine Mechanical Section.

Testing

1. Remove the fan control module connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and measure the voltage between the harness-side connector terminals. Standard value: Battery positive voltage
   
   
   

   

   Fig. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position, and measure the voltage between the harness-side connector terminals

3. Connect the fan control module connector, and disconnect the condenser fan motor connector.
4. Ensure that the A/C switch is off, and start the engine and run it at idle.
5. Measure the voltage between the fan control module-side connector terminals. Standard value: 1V or less.
   
   CAUTION

   Stay clear of the fan when the fan starts running.

6. Turn the A/C switch to the "ON" position.
7. Measure the voltage between the fan control module-side connector terminals while the fan is running. The voltage should repeat the values 1) and 2) below. Standard value: 1) 8.2 ± 2.6 V 2) Battery positive voltage ± 2.6 V
8. If the voltage does not repeatedly change as indicated, replace the radiator fan motor.
