You know the TV series Ghost Whisperer? We’ll for the pass 2
days I’ve been experiencing Car Whisperer...lol.
While driving, the temp meter would suddenly max out with
the stop light flashing then return back to normal. This would happen a few
times a day while driving or when starting the car. Upon checking, the radiator fan only turns on high speed. It wont run on low speed. Testing the fan using PP2000 confirmed this.
A scan with PP2000, showed error Code P0485. Possible causes of this :-
1. Fan relay
2. Fan Resistor
3. Wiring harness to the fan, relay or resistor is out of order.
This error code generally happens when the BSI detects the fan is not functions as it should.
So I began check the relays first. There are 2 relays, one for high speed and one for low speed. The relays are located beside the fan, happily hiding behind the panel.

Next to test was the fan resistor. Took it out , tested it with a multimeter and confirmed this was spoil.
The resistor's location. Replace it and the fan works fine. Bought the fan resistor for RM70.
