| Item Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Securing nut |
| 2 | Harness |
| 3 | Electro-viscous drive unit |
For additional airflow through the radiator, particularly when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly, there is an engine driven electro-viscous cooling fan. The cooling fan functions as a normal viscous fan, but with electronic control over the level of engagement of the viscous clutch. The engine control module (ECM) controls the level of engagement to optimize fan speed for all operating conditions.
A securing nut attaches the cooling fan to a drive pulley, which is mounted on the front of the engine and driven by the accessory drive system.
The blades of the cooling fan are located in a fan cowl attached to the rear of the radiator frame. Brushes around the circumference of the aperture in the fan cowl provide a seal with the blade shroud. An electrical connector in the top left corner of the fan cowl provides the interface between the cooling fan harness and the vehicle wiring.
