What does code P0482 mean?
Cooling Fan 3 Control Circuit Malfunction
P0482 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Cooling Fan 3 Control Circuit Malfunction”. It is a generic code applying to all OBD II (on board diagnostics) vehicles. This code indicates that the PCM (powertrain control module) has detected voltage in the cooling fan control circuit outside of the normal parameters.
What is a P0481 code?
OBD-II Code P0481 is defined as a Fan 2 Control Circuit. This trouble code refers to the engine cooling fan circuit, as it experiences a malfunction causing the fan to fail, which then leads to engine to overheat.
What does the p0481 code mean on an engine?
What the P0481 code means. P0481 is the OBD-II generic code for a problem with the control circuit for cooling fan 2. The cooling fan should be commanded on under certain conditions where the engine requires more cooling, and this is controlled via the cooling fan relay.
When to set the p0481 fan relay code?
When the PCM attempts to activate the fan and senses the command and the result do not match, the code is set. NOTE: P0481 speaks of the basic circuit, however codes P0480 and P0482 relate to the same problem with the only difference is they relate to the different fan speed relays.
What does the code p0480 mean on a PCM?
When the PCM attempts to activate the fan and senses the command and the result do not match, the code is set. NOTE: P0480 speaks of the basic circuit, however codes P0481, and P0482 relate to the same problem with the only difference is they relate to the different fan speed relays.
Is there an OBD-II scanner for p0481?
P0481 is diagnosed with an OBD-II scanner. A qualified technician will use a scanner that is capable of scanning the factory sensor readings (more advanced than one from the auto parts store) to read the code.

What does the p0482 code stand for?
All our repairs are backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty. The P0482 code is indicative of cooling fan 3 control circuit malfunction. Concurrent codes may be present, such as P0480, P0481, P0482, P1474, P1477 and/or P1479. If such codes are stored along with P0482, each one should be addressed in the order the event occurred.
