  1. CHECK COOLING FAN SYSTEM 
    1. Check and ensure the following conditions:
      1. The ignition switch is off.
      2. The engine coolant temperature is less than 92°C (198°F).
      3. The battery voltage is between 11 to 14 V.
      4. The A/C switch is off.
    2. Connect the pickup of a clamp-on ammeter around one of the 2 wires for the cooling fan motor.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for approximately 10 seconds. Check that the fan is not operating.
    4. Start the engine. Check that the fan is not operating with the engine idling.

      HINT: 

      • Make sure that the engine coolant temperature is less than 92°C (198°F).
      • Turn the A/C switch off.
    5. Check that the fan operates when the A/C switch is turned on.
    6. Measure the current while the cooling fan motor is turning.

      Standard Current

      Item Condition Specified Condition
      Cooling fan motor Battery voltage applied at 20°C (68°F) 13.6 to 19.6 A
      No. 2 cooling fan motor 13.6 to 19.6 A

      HINT: 

      The engine coolant temperature should be less than 92°C (198°F).

    7. Check that the fan operates when the water temperature sensor connector is disconnected.
    8. Measure the current while the cooling fan motor is turning.

      Standard Current

      Item Condition Specified Condition
      Cooling fan motor Battery voltage applied at 20°C (68°F) 13.6 to 19.6 A
