Default 2017 Accord Hybrid Cooling Fan

Hello All, we have a 2017 Accord that has just had its condenser changed since then the single fan will not run. I pulled a vacuum on the system and charged the best i could. but because the system got hot, this made charging the AC difficult because as the temperature built up so did the pressure. The fan has two connectors a three pin and a 2 pin. the two pin looks to have 6.2mm flat terminals so I'm guessing this is the motor supply. the other looks like a sensor with a 5v, ground and sensor level. I also still haven't managed to identify the relay yet.

is there any strange logic on the fan control?

There are a couple of fuses that seem to be missing and we suspect that this could have been from taking the car to a local mechanic. We didn't get work done because we were quoted $900 for a condenser change, and when we tested the old condenser it wasn't actually leaking. so something else is...

Any help here would be most appreciated...

Regards Steven

I don't have a 2017 accord shop manual, so post a pic of the back of the fuse box with the diagram to see what is missing.

With the 5 wire setup, I can't imagine how that would work to vary the fan speed. Maybe it is a temperature sensor for cooling or maybe some kind of resistance sensor to alert you the fan stopped working?

Your accord should have 2 fans on the radiator. Is one of the fans working properly? I'm a bit confused by your description.

The 2017 Hybrid has one large combined radiator and a/c condenser fan motor, not two.

Check under-dash Fuse No. B11 (10A); this supplies power to the RFC Unit and PCM. Different Hybrid trims have slightly different circuits; so, the fuses may differ.

Just an update, the dealer did remove two fuses that stopped the fan from operating but not the AC compressor.

does anyone know what the AC system actually cools... Cabin, inverter, Hybrid battery...?

I will put some more refrigerant in it today and see if it maintains a charge...

A/C system (climate control system) is to regulate cabin temperature air outlet.
