    What Does P0493 Mean?

    OBD-II Code Cooling fans may stay on all the time is defined as a Fan Overspeed

    The purpose of the electric cooling fan system is to provide extra cooling capacity to the conventional radiator cooling system on hot days, and/or when the A/C is on, an/or when the vehicle is being driven in stop and go traffic which causes insufficient Airflow over the radiator. When the engine control module (PCM) cannot control the cooling fan as desired, it will set code P0493.

    What are the common causes of P0493 ?

    Common causes include a bad cooling fan motor or a faulty cooling fan relay. Less common causes include corroded or loose electrical connectors, a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor, and open or shorted electrical wiring (often resulting in a blown fuse).

    How do you troubleshoot P0493 ?

    Look for damage to the tank indicating impact that may have damaged the fuel pump or sender. If the engine displays a miss and there wasn't a code, determine which cylinder is misfiring. If the exhaust manifold is visible, spay or pour a small amount of water on each cylinder exhaust port. Water will evaporate immediately on good cylinders and slowly on the missing cylinder. If this can't be accomplished pull the plugs and check the condition. Now, clear the codes and test-drive the vehicle to see if the code is reset.
