DTC P1481 is fan relay coil open/low. This means the relay controller (ECM pin #2) is sensing 0 volts (either the 12 V relay coil supply is disconnected or the other side of the coil is shorted to ground). One side of the relay coil is connected to 12 V via the R/O wire from the BATTERY fuse and the other side is switched to ground by the ECM to operate the fan relay. If the ECM senses 0 V at pin #2 DTC P1481 is set. This means either the R/O wire is broken (a blown BATTERY fuse would set other DTCs), the relay is bad or removed, or the other side of the coil is shorted to ground. The later should cause the fans to run continuously.
if you changed the relay with new one (be careful not to mount it in the opposite way)

if the fans still run continuously it have a bad ship inside the ECM (pin #2) shorted... to fix it open the ECM.. change the first 8 pin chip to the right. (closest 8 pin chip to pin #2).. or change the ECM!!!!!!!!!

Pulled a code of p1481 which is a fan output open/low 4.15 fan operation check does anyone know what this means or how to fix it

if you changed the relay with new one (be careful not to mount it in the opposite way)

if the fans still run continuously it have a bad ship inside the ECM (pin #2) shorted... to fix it open the ECM.. change the first 8 pin chip to the right. (closest 8 pin chip to pin #2).. or change the ECM!!!!!!!!!

error code vrod ( p1481 )

if you changed the fan/s relay with new one (be careful not to mount it in the opposite way)

now if the fan/s still run continuously it have a bad ship inside the ECM (pin #2) shorted... to fix it open the ECM.. change the first 8 pin chip to the right. (closest 8 pin chip to pin #2).. or change the ECM!!!!!!!!!
