Check that wiring has continuity the wire to sensor must have 5v.
P1481 cooling fan speed sensor.
Dtc p1481 will set if the engine is started without the drive belt on.
Here an interesting website on trailblazer fan system.
If you have a code p1481 or similar pointing at the cooling fan speed sensor often you have to fix or replace the wiring rather that the sensor.
I got check engine light on and poped code p1481 fan speed circuit sensor does that mean that i have a bad fan clutch since mine is an electronic fan clutch.
