P0483 refers to a malfunction in the cooling fan rationality check. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the operation of the engine cooling fan(s) to ensure that they are operating within expected parameters. If the PCM detects that the cooling fan operation is outside of these expected parameters, it will set the P0483 code.
Possible causes of this code include a faulty cooling fan motor, a faulty fan control module, a malfunctioning engine coolant temperature sensor, damaged wiring or connectors in the cooling fan circuit, or a faulty PCM.
To diagnose and fix this issue, a mechanic should perform a thorough inspection of the cooling fan system, including testing the fan motor and control module, checking the coolant temperature sensor, and inspecting the wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion. The PCM may also need to be reprogrammed or replaced, depending on the diagnosis.
