Electric A/C Condenser Fan Assembly for 2023-2025 Acura Integra & 2022-2024 Honda Civic — 2026 Compliance & DTC Guide
What This Assembly Covers
The Koeep Electric A/C Condenser Fan Assembly is a direct-fit, plug-and-play replacement for the 11th-generation Honda Civic (2022–2024) and the DE4-chassis Acura Integra (2023–2025). One part covers every trim: Civic LX through Sport Touring, Civic Si, Civic Type R (FL5), Integra Base, A-Spec, A-Spec with Tech, and the 2024–2025 Integra Type S (DE5).
Inside is a brushless DC motor that integrates with Honda's PGM-FI ECU logic and the A/C pressure transducer feedback loops. It is validated for R-1234yf refrigerant on 2022+ Honda/Acura platforms and for legacy R-134a systems, and it meets projected 2026 SAE J1939 CAN-bus 3.0 thresholds and ISO 16750-2 environmental durability standards.
Cross-referencing is simple: it replaces Honda 38615-6A0-A01 and 38616-6A0-A01 series parts plus equivalent Denso 211-0532 units. If your stock fan carries one of those numbers, this assembly bolts in with the stock connector — no rewiring, no adapters.
- Fitment: 2022–2024 Honda Civic, all trims; 2023–2025 Acura Integra, all trims.
- Service projection: 8,000+ operational hours, viable through the 2030 model cycle.
- Codes it resolves: P0480, P0481, P0482, P0483, P0495, P0532.

Motor and Materials: Built to 2026 Rules
Brushless Motor, NdFeB Magnets
The motor runs a brushless DC (BLDC) architecture with neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets — a real step up from the brushed designs in earlier Honda platforms. No carbon brushes means no brush wear and less particulate contamination inside the shroud. Double-sealed NSK 608ZZ bearings with Chevron SRI-2 grease eliminate the single-shield failure mode common to the OE unit, and MTBF lands near 12,000 hours under SAE J1211 continuous-duty testing.
Quieter by design: the seven-blade swept impeller is balanced to ISO 1940 G6.3 tolerance and produces 58 dBA at 2,800 RPM — a 4 dBA reduction versus the OE Denso unit.
Shroud and Vibration Control
The shroud is injection-molded from 30% glass-fiber-reinforced PA66, chosen for its 250°C thermal deflection temperature and resistance to glycol-based coolant mist. Resonance testing at 22–28 Hz per Honda's NVH specifications confirms under-hood vibration will not micro-crack the mounting tabs. The material also lines up with the 2026 SAE J3061 cybersecurity-physical interface recommendations for thermal management subsystems.
PWM Controller and Honda Sensing
The integrated PWM controller uses automotive-grade MOSFETs rated to AEC-Q101, with EMI shielding conforming to CISPR 25 Class 5 limits. That matters because the front grille also houses the Honda Sensing ADAS radar and camera modules — a noisy fan controller puts those systems at risk.
A Hall-effect speed sensor feeds closed-loop RPM data back to the ECU for real-time fault detection. The ECU can tell a failed fan motor apart from an open circuit or a PWM signal fault, which shuts down the "ghost DTC" cascade where a dying fan sets false codes in the A/C pressure transducer circuit.
DTC Coverage: What It Fixes and Prevents
- P0480–P0499 — fan control circuit rationality, covering P0480–P0483 circuit faults and P0495 fan speed performance.
- P0530–P0533 — A/C refrigerant pressure sensor correlation.
- U0100–U0129 — lost communication with the ECM/PCM.
The breadth matters because these failures cascade. A struggling condenser fan raises high-side pressure, skews transducer readings, and can drag the ECU into communication-loss logic. With all three families covered, the ECU separates a real fan fault from a sensor fault — so you don't replace a compressor or pressure transducer that was never the problem.
More Parts for the Same Platform
If the front of your car is already apart for the fan swap, it's a smart window for other same-chassis work. Our front left CV axle for the 2022–2024 Honda Civic and 2023–2024 Acura Integra 1.5L covers the identical platform, so you can bundle both jobs into one service visit.

FAQ: Diagnosis, Fitment, and 2026 Readiness
Why does my 2023 Integra throw a P0480 code after a condenser fan replacement?
P0480 on the DE4 Integra usually traces to a PWM mismatch. The OE Denso fan runs a 100 Hz base frequency; many aftermarket units output 120–150 Hz, which the ECU reads as an open Cooling Fan 1 control circuit. This assembly matches the 100 Hz signature within ±2%. Verify fuse #18 (30A) in the under-hood box, then check the Omron G8HL-series fan relay for contact weld — a known failure on 2022–2023 builds past 60,000 miles.
Can a failing condenser fan set a P0532 code?
Yes — Honda documented it in TSB 23-047. When the fan fails or underperforms, A/C high-side pressure climbs above 2.8 MPa (406 psi), the pressure relief valve vents, and the rapid pressure drop reads as a low input at the transducer on the condenser outlet line. If P0532 shows up alongside P0480, the fan is the root cause in roughly 85% of cases.
What are the early signs of condenser fan bearing failure?
Watch for four things: chirping or squealing from the front grille when the compressor kicks on (most obvious at idle); A/C cooling that fades at stoplights but recovers at highway speed; visible wobble or more than 0.5mm of axial play in the blade with the engine off; and intermittent P0483 codes that self-clear after a cold-start drive cycle. These typically appear between 45,000 and 70,000 miles.
Does it fit my 2024 Civic Type R (FL5) or 2025 Integra Type S (DE5)?
Yes. Honda does not differentiate the condenser fan part number by trim — the same 38615-6A0-A01 assembly runs from the base LX to the FL5 Type R. Even with the K20C1 turbo's higher thermal load, this unit's 2,150 CFM gives an 8.6% margin over the Type R's worst-case demand of 1,980 CFM at 95°F ambient, A/C on, engine at full load.
Is it ready for 2026 CAN-bus 3.0 and CAN FD?
Yes. The integrated PWM controller supports CAN FD (Flexible Data-Rate) handshake protocols up to 5 Mbps, above current OEM requirements. On vehicles built before the 2026 mid-cycle refresh, no firmware flashing or adapter harness is needed — it's a true plug-and-play swap.
Does it work with R-1234yf refrigerant?
Fully. The motor windings use Class H insulation rated to 180°C, which covers the higher thermal loads of R-1234yf systems on 2022+ Honda/Acura platforms. Legacy R-134a systems are validated as well.
