Abstract

An apparatus and method for controlling a cooling fan of a battery of a vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes a motor controller that drives a cooling fan motor of the battery based on information regarding control conditions of the cooling fan motor, and requests a backup process of a control of the cooling fan motor when an error in CAN communication by a CAN communicator or an error of the vehicle occurs. A backup processor then compensates for an output signal of the cooling fan based on at least one of an air conditioner pressure transducer (APT) output value, a vehicle speed, and a cooled water temperature and transmits the compensated output signal of the cooling fan to the motor controller.
