- CHECK COOLING FAN SYSTEM
- Check and ensure the following conditions:
- The ignition switch is off.
- The engine coolant temperature is less than 96 °C (205 °F).
- The battery voltage is between 11 to 14 V.
- The A/C switch is off.
- Connect the pickup of a clamp-on ammeter around either of the 2 wires for the cooling fan motor.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for approximately 10 seconds. Check that the cooling fan is not operating.
- Start the engine. Check that the cooling fan is not operating with the engine idling.
HINT:
- Make sure that the engine coolant temperature is less than 96 °C (205 °F).
- Turn the A/C switch off.
- Check that the cooling fan operate when the A/C switch is turned on.
- Measure the current while the cooling fan motor is turning.
