had it pulled at autozone and it says: P1480 Fan secondary low with low fan on. any idea on how to fix this? I had my dad test the relays and they all seem to be working. My fans do not come on at all though. Is it in the box itself or wiring to the fans. :dunno I've got to get this fixed by next week so I can get my emissions done
according to our list of codes its a P1480 Cooling fan relay 1 circuit high input as seen here http://www.wrxatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1073 dont know how to fix it though.
JT, that's what I thought it was originally when they pulled the code at top speed. I have checked all the relays themselves but they all seem to be ok. Do you think it might be corrosion somewhere? What does high input mean?
this is all i could dig up on that code. this is for an 01 2.5 i couldnt find any thing for 03 ej20. troubleshooting
thanks a lot, I just don't have my cd manual with me, its at my parents' house where I do all my work.
I would replace the relays any way just becaus ethey seem ok doesn't mean they are, after replacing them reset your ECU if that doesn't fix it the Fan itself could be bad the motor could be dying.
yeah, the relays are about $20 a piece. I took the a/c relay (which is identical) and substituted it for each fan relay but I did not reset the ecu everytime. maybe I'll try that again, I just called SOG and they were saying a couple hours may be needed to figure it out. I don't have $300 to have someone replace a fuse if that's it. I want to try and find the problem and fix it myself.
Productive Lunch I took out the fan relays and cleaned them, I also jumbled them...for no particular reason. I reset the ecu and now the fans are working properly...Yay I've reset it before but nothing happened, we will see if it lasts. I cleared one problem up then another has arisen. My alarm no longer works and is flashing on my gauge cluster once the car is off. hmmph....keeps me busy and out of the bars I guess
Hell if I know, I noticed it this morning getting out at work and tried turning it off then back on but it did no good. It probably is in valet, I'll check it. by the way, how do you get it into/out of valet? thanks answer hit unlock once then both lock/unlock at the same time.
usually if you look on the back of your remote it tells you how to shut it off and on and get it out of valet mode. We'll at least on most remotes anyway.
kinda slow on that one sorry....just got busy all of a sudden at work hnoes: that sounds about right though...I used to do it all the time by accident
