[Warning Light] Fan failure.

[Cloppydog2]

Please, is there anybody out there can prevent me from going into total breakdown (Me not the van). I have a 2017 berlingo van (B9) that is in what I believe to be permanent limp mode. Diag box is giving the following fault codes in ECU along with the normal management and fault warning light.

P0483-81
P0693-13
P0480-13
P0238-00
P0098-00

I have checked all the wiring from fan and relay units as far as the ECU which does not show anything out of the ordinary, the only thing that I am obviously unable to check is the ECU/multi pin connector making a proper connections.

I have purchased and installed a new fan relay and checked that the fan runs when powered, but still nothing.

My local PSA specialist maintains it is a wiring problem between the fan and the ECU but does not want to get involved any further.

This fault came up all of a sudden after a 280 mile trip.

It seems a pity that a £6-7k value van has to go to the scrappy for the sake of an electrical malfunction.

I would be really appreciative of any help or hints that anybody would be willing to give.

There's not much we can tell you here, the fault codes indicate a malfunction in the ECU section which controls the cooling fan but the cause is anyone's guess. And that's all it would be is a guess.

You will need an auto electrician and one which can debug the ECU electronics or you could be in a heap of trouble trying to resolve this.

We can't solve this on a forum I'm afraid.

Have you checked all cooling fan system fuses?

What about an ECU tuning/remapping specialist?

If you're considering scrapping it, that would be a big financial loss, so have a throw of the dice anyway, they might just come up snake-eyes.

Goggle brought these up - I have no idea how reputable they are or what they think of Berlingos:

Obviously, they won't be interested unless you book one of their services too. Say you want their service but you have a wee problem and can they deal with that?

Also HDI-Tuning, they do ECU replacements and remapped ones at that
