U0633Lost Communication With Fan 2

  • Generic OBD-II code · Network
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Can trigger limp mode
How the car detects it
U0633 is the counterpart for a second LIN-controlled radiator fan. GM's 2025 table 25OBDG04B checks the frame CFM2_RSP and fails after 2.5 s of silence as Type B; 23OBDG07 and 24OBDG07 count three missing frames, and on those engines fans 3 and 4 have their own codes on another LIN line. In the Outlander PHEV 2023 Mitsubishi's fan 2 is the left-hand unit. Audi bulletin 2072000/1 for the 2020-24 Q7, Q8 and RS Q8 family lists U0633 with fan circuit codes and the warning of limited performance with engine speed capped at 2000 rpm; the harness rubs on the right front frame rail. GM bulletin 23-NA-102 finds it on the Duramax 3.0 together with other LIN devices. Fan 2 alone failing while fan 1 still answers points to its own branch or motor.
