Cooling Fans -> Passenger Cars Except Saturn -> SUNBIRD -> COMPONENT REPLACEMENT -> Coolant Fan Does Not Turn Off w/Engine Coolant Cool, A/C Mode Selector Off & Ignition Switch In Run -> Coolant Fan Does Not Turn On -> Coolant Fan, Replace -> DESCRIPTION -> System Check -> System Diagnosis -> SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS & TESTING -> TROUBLESHOOTING
Vehicle: 1992 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Elite 3.8 V6 GAS

DESCRIPTION

The coolant fan is controlled by the coolant fan relay. The coolant fan relay is electrically operated by the ECM. The ECM receives input signal from the coolant temperature sensor, vehicle speed sensor and the A/C mode selector. The ECM activates the coolant fan relay when engine coolant, which is sensed by the coolant temperature sensor, is above 227°F, when A/C is turned on and when coolant temperature sensor fails. Any of these input signals causes the ECM to ground circuit 335. With circuit 335 grounded, the coolant fan relay is energized and its contacts cl...

BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR Oldsmobile 98 AUTOMOBILES

Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported Oldsmobile 98 cars and light trucks from 1990+.

Anti-lock Brakes -> Bonneville, Eighty Eight, LeSabre, Ninety Eight, Park Avenue, 1992 DeVille & Fleetwood (FWD) (Teves Type) -> Description -> BRAKE WARNING LAMP -> ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (EBCM) -> WHEEL SPEED SENSORS
Vehicle: 1992 Oldsmobile 98 Regency Touring 3.8 V6 GAS

Refer to Fig. , for overview of anti-lock brake system.

The purpose of the anti-lock brake system is to prevent wheel lock-up under heavy braking conditions, on virtually any road surface. When a wheel locking condition exists, the pressure modulator valve (PMV) assembly isolates each wheel hydraulic circuit, then begins modulation of fluid pressure to each wheel according to wheel speed input to the EBCM. The PMV is controlled by the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM).

Modulation occurs by means of three ABS modes: pressure hold, pressure reduce and pressure increase. The PMV ass...
