Hello, the vehicle's radiator fan stop functioning. When I tested the fan directly by connecting battery to it, it function properly. Then the fault is within the circuit. Could you help me with the circuit diagram?

Hi,

First, I attached two pics below. They show the entire circuit for the cooling fans. I had to cut the pic in half to make it readable, but I did overlap them so you can follow them.

Now, the first things I would check are the fuses and fan relays. In addition to simply checking the fuse, confirm there is power to and from it. Here is a link to help with that:

Next, check the relays in the underhood fuel/relay box. If there are relays with the same part numbers, switch them. If there isn't, here is a link explaining how to check a relay:

Pic 3 shows the relay location in the box. Pic 4 shows the fuse to check and relay 1.

I hope this helps. Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless,
