Check that wiring has continuity the wire to sensor must have 5v.
P1481 cooling fan speed sensor.
The engine control module controls the fan speed by sending a pulse width modulated signal to the cooling fan speed control module the cooling fan control module varies the voltage drop across the engine cooling fan motor in relation to the pulse width modulated signal.
The engine control module controls the fan speed by sending a pulse width modulated signal to the cooling fan speed control module the cooling fan control module varies the voltage drop across the engine cooling fan motor in relation to the pulse width modulated signal.
If you have a code p1481 or similar pointing at the cooling fan speed sensor often you have to fix or replace the wiring rather that the sensor.
The cooling fan speed sensor is built in inside the fan clutch.
Its the cooling fan speed sensor that needs to be replaced.
The engine control module controls the fan speed by sending a pulse width modulated signal to the cooling fan speed control module the cooling fan control module varies the voltage drop across the engine cooling fan motor in relation to the pulse width modulated signal.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
Dtc p1481 will set if the engine is started without the drive belt on.

P1481 meaning the engine cooling fan is a variable speed fan.
I got check engine light on and poped code p1481 fan speed circuit sensor does that mean that i have a bad fan clutch since mine is an electronic fan clutch.
Here an interesting website on trailblazer fan system.
