Dunno of this helps, but it looks like TOAF has specific options to test the different fan speeds.
I know my three-speed fan is broken. Got a new set of bushes to try and fit when the weather and daylight improves! |

And yes, Toaf can test all speeds, used it on an owner's car yesterday and discovered his slow speed wasn't working but medium and high were. Regards |

Of all the three speed fans I have repaired in the past I thought this was almost impossible on a three speed fan.
However I actually came across it on a members car once. Only the slow speed had failed. this then gave the exact same symptoms as a two speed fan with a failed resistor. Have to say until we stripped the fan out we were convinced it was a two speed with the resistor hidden away.

Maybe I need to take another look at the diagnostic port. I didn't get on my knees to look at it but the obd2 cable in my hand didn't feel like it wanted to go in. Then I believe I read that not all the diesels have obd2 ports. I can't remember what the alternative port is unfortunately as my memory is shocking

Tested the first one about 2 years ago, the owner wasn't that bothered, but now a few weeks ago the fan failed totally, sent him a 3 sp replacement. The owner has Toaf and neither the medium nor the high speed now worked. Seemed to fail at the same time(?). The owner is up in far north so had to get the local garage to fit it, took them a day and a half, and has yet to receive the invoice, makes my standard 5 hrs look good, and I won't mention you & Steve Keep well |

That is the sort of cable I use. Just remember to short the two pins together (easy mod with a soldering iron). I think it is 7 and 8.
