Troubleshooting the Variable Speed Controller

Problem

Possible Cause

How to find out

Solution

Fans do not turn on

regardless of

temperature.

Ignition wire not hooked

up to proper source.

Make sure you have a

switched source hooked up

to terminal number 9. Turn

your key on and LED #4

should light after 5-6

seconds.

If there is no light, then provide

a 12 volt source to terminal

number 9.

LED #4 lights up, but

my fans still do not

turn on.

Thermistor probe may

not be hooked up

properly.

Remove the thermistor

probe from the circuit

board. Place a jumper

across terminals 10 & 11.

Remove the connectors and

make sure that the 22 gauge

wire is doubled up before the

new connector is installed to

ensure proper contacts.

I have tested the

thermistor probe but

the fans still do not

turn on.

Fuse to battery positive

post blown.

Wires attached to short

wire leads 1 & 4 aren’t

properly hooked up.

Inspect the fuse in the

holder.

Check for ground and

power through lines hooked

to short wire leads 1 & 4.

Replace fuse.

Hook up wires to short wire

leads 1 & 4 to ground and

power, respectively, to battery.

Fans still do not come

on.

Motors wired improperly. Remove the wires from

terminals 2 & 3 and hook

them directly to power and

ground to check motors.

Check wiring to motors to

ensure they are wired properly.

If motors do not spin after

checking wiring to them, call

tech support at

1-800-851-1510.

Fans come on and it

seems like they are

only at 100% instead

of the initial 60%.

They are actually on at

60% and haven’t

reached 100% yet.

Ground terminal 6.

This is the fan at 100%

Fans do not come on

until the temperature

is very hot.

Thermistor probe not

located in optimum

position.

Temperature set to high.

Check location of thermistor

probe.

Locate temperature screw

in center of VSC.

Note: maximum of

rotation of screw is ¾ of a

turn!

Thermistor should be located

nearest the upper radiator

hose.

Turn adjustment screw until

fans come on. Turning further in

this direction will keep engine at

a lower temperature.

Fans were working

properly but have

suddenly shut down.

Usage of a chassis

ground and/or alternate

source for power other

than positive terminal on

battery.

Trace wire from short wire

leads 1 & 4 to find source.

Move to posts on the battery.

I turn my engine on

and the fans come on

but the engine is cold.

A/C lead hooked to the

wrong terminal.

A/C turned on.

Trace the wire hooked to

either number 7 or 8

terminal and check polarity

of the wire.

Check if defrost activates

a/c or if the a/c is on.

Hook the wire to the proper

terminal on the a/c compressor

and the corresponding terminal

at the VSC.

Shut off a/c or leave on as this

is normal operation.
