Ignition OFF.
Disconnect a cooling fan relay.
Test for 70-110 Ω between terminals 85/2 and 86/1.
- If less than or greater than the specified range
  Replace the cooling fan relay.
- If within the specified range
Test for infinite resistance between the following terminals:
- 30/3 and 86/1
- 30/3 and 87/5
- 30/3 and 85/2
- 85/2 and 87/5
- If less than infinite resistance
  Replace the cooling fan relay.
- If infinite resistance
Install a 20 A fused jumper wire between relay terminal 85/2 and 12 V.
Install a jumper wire between relay terminal 86/1 and ground.
Test for less than 2 Ω between terminals 30/3 and 87/5.
- If 2 Ω or greater
  Replace the cooling fan relay.
- If less than 2 Ω
All OK.
