COOLING FAN DOES NOT RUN WITH A/C ON
If cooling fan does not run with A/C on, check the following items to help isolate fault.
Check A/C cooling fan relay.
Check cooling fan wiring harness.
TESTING
VOLTAGE SUPPLY TEST
Disconnect cooling fan motor connector. Turn ignition on. Check for voltage at Yellow wire terminal of connector. If voltage is NOT present,
check for blown 20-amp COOLING fuse (Capri) or C-FAN fuse (Festiva) or open in Yellow wire between cooling fan and fuse.
Disconnect cooling fan relay connector. Cooling fan relay is located in the left front corner of engine compartment. Turn ignition on. Check
for voltage at Yellow (Capri) or Black/Yellow (Festiva) wire terminal of connector. If voltage is NOT present, check for blown 30-amp
HEATER fuse on Capri or 10-amp METER fuse on Festiva or open in Black/Yellow wire between cooling fan relay and fuse.
Disconnect A/C cooling fan relay connector. On Capri, A/C relay is located in the left rear corner of the engine compartment, on firewall. On
Festiva, A/C relay is located in the left front corner of engine compartment, under a triple relay cover. Relay may be identified by wire colors
to relay connector. See Fig. 2
and Fig. 3 . Turn ignition on. Check for voltage at Blue wire terminal of connector. If voltage is NOT present,
check for blown 15-amp HEATER fuse or open in Blue wire between A/C cooling fan relay and fuse.
GROUND CIRCUIT TEST
Turn ignition off. Unplug connectors from cooling fan and A/C cooling fan relays. Check for continuity between ground and Black wire
terminal of relay connectors. If continuity is NOT present, repair Black ground wire.
FAN MOTOR TEST
Disconnect fan motor wire connector. Apply ground and battery voltage to motor connector. Fan should run. If fan does not run, replace
cooling fan motor.
COOLING FAN RELAY TEST
Unplug cooling fan relay connector. Apply battery voltage and ground to Yellow and Green/Red (Capri) or Black/Yellow and Green/Yellow
(Festiva) wire terminals of relay. Check continuity of relay across Yellow/Green (Capri) or Yellow/Red and Black (Festiva) wire connector
terminals. Ensure continuity is NOT present while relay is energized. When relay is de-energized, continuity should exist.
A/C COOLING FAN RELAY TEST
Unplug A/C relay connector. Apply battery voltage and ground to Blue and White (Capri) or Blue and Green (Festiva) wire terminals of relay.
Check continuity of relay across Blue and Red (Capri) or Yellow/Red and Black (Festiva) wire connector terminals. On Capri, ensure
continuity does NOT exist while relay is energized. On Festiva, ensure continuity exists while relay is energized. On Capri, when relay is de-
energized continuity should exist. On Festiva, when relay is de-energized, continuity should NOT exist.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH TEST
Disconnect connector from coolant temperature switch located in thermostat housing. With coolant temperature less than 200°F (93°C) for
Capri or 194°F (90°C) for Festiva, check continuity between ground and coolant temperature switch. Ensure continuity exists. Start engine
and allow coolant temperature to reach 200°F (93°C) for Capri or 207°F (97°C) for Festiva. Check continuity between ground and coolant
temperature switch terminal. Continuity should NOT be present. If switch does not test as indicated, replace switch.
HARNESS & CIRCUIT CHECK TEST
Turn ignition off. Disconnect harness connectors of the following components: ECA, cooling fan motor, coolant temperature switch, cooling
fan relay and A/C cooling fan relay. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity on the related harness leads of each connector. See Fig. 2

F - BASIC TESTING
1991-92 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Ford Motor Co. Basic Diagnostic Procedures
INTRODUCTION
The following diagnostic steps help prevent overlooking simple problems and begin diagnosis for a no-start condition.
The first step in diagnosing any driveability problem is to verify the complaint. Test drive the vehicle under the conditions in which the
problem reportedly occurred.
Before entering self-diagnostics, perform a careful and complete visual inspection. Most engine control problems result from mechanical
breakdowns, poor electrical connections or damaged/misrouted vacuum hoses. Before condemning the computerized system, perform each test
listed in this article.
PRELIMINARY INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENTS
VISUAL INSPECTION
Perform a visual inspection of all electrical wiring. Look for chafed, stretched, cut or pinched wiring. Ensure electrical connections fit tightly
and are not corroded. Ensure vacuum hoses are properly routed and are not cut or pinched. If necessary, see VACUUM DIAGRAMS article in
the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section to verify routing and connections. Inspect air induction system for possible vacuum leaks.
MECHANICAL INSPECTION
Compression
Engine mechanical condition can be checked using a compression gauge, vacuum gauge or engine analyzer. See engine analyzer instruction
manual for specific instructions. Lowest compression reading must be not less than 75 percent of highest reading.
Exhaust System Backpressure
Exhaust system can be checked with a vacuum gauge or a 0-5 psi pressure gauge. If a pressure gauge is used, remove O2 sensor. Connect gauge
to O2 sensor port. Start engine, and run at 2500 RPM. If exhaust system backpressure is more than 2 psi, exhaust system or catalytic converter
is plugged.
If a vacuum gauge is used, connect it to intake manifold vacuum. Start engine. Observe vacuum gauge. Open throttle part way and hold steady.
If vacuum gauge drops slowly after stabilizing, check exhaust system for a restriction.
FUEL PRESSURE
Fuel Pressure Release
Start engine (if possible), and unplug VAF meter connector. When engine stalls, turn ignition off and reconnect VAF meter wiring. Usin g sh o p
towel, cover fitting to absorb leakage when opening fuel system.
Fuel Pressure Check
1. Connect fuel pressure gauge between fuel filter and fuel rail. Open main valve, and close drain valve. Locate fuel pump check connector
in engine compartment, near left strut. Connect jumper wire between fuel pump test terminals (Black and Green/White wires on Capri
or Black and Green/Red wires on Festiva).
2. Turn ignition on to activate fuel pump. If pump does not run, check fuel pump circuit. If possible, start engine. Measure and record fuel
pressure. For fuel pressure specifications, see FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS
article. Disconnect vacuum from pressure
regulator. Turn engine off. Wait 5 minutes and ensure residual pressure is at least 21 psi (1.5 kg/cm
2 ).
3. Operate fuel pump by reconnecting jumper wire at fuel pump check connector. Check fuel pump performance. Pinch hose between
pressure gauge and fuel filter. Do not hold longer than necessary to check pressure.For fuel pressure specifications, see FUEL
PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS article. If pump does not meet specifications, check fuel pump circuit, fuel pump, fuel tank and fuel
filter or replace fuel pump.
FUEL PUMP PERFORMANCE NOTE:Unless stated otherwise in test procedure, perform all voltage tests with a Digital Volt-Ohm m eter
(DVOM) with a m inim um 10-m egohm input im pedance.
CAUT ION: DO NOT use ignition switch during com pression tests on fuel injected vehicles. Fuel injectors are
triggered by ignition switch during cranking m ode. Use a rem ote starter to crank engine to prevent fire
hazard and catalytic converter and engine oiling system contam ination.
WARNING:ALWAYS relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection system com ponent. DO NOT
allow fuel to contact engine or electrical com ponents.
NOTE:For 1991 fuel pressure specifications, see FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICAT IONS
article. For 1992 fuel
pressure specifications, see FUEL PRESSURE SPECIFICAT IONS
article.

IGNITION CHECKS
Firing Order
Inspect spark plug wiring routing. Ensure firing order is 1-3-4-2.
Spark
1. Crank engine. Check for a strong Blue spark at each spark plug wire by using a high output spark tester. Ensure resistance of each spark
plug wire is 4000-6000 ohms per foot.
2. Disconnect and inspect all related ignition system connectors and harness. Clean or repair as necessary, and recheck spark. If st il l n o
spark, go to IGNITION COIL POWER SOURCE
.
Ignition Coil Power Source
Disconnect primary wires at ignition coil. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between Black/White wire on harness connector and ground. If
voltage is not greater than 10 volts, check battery feed, ignition switch and fusible links. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to IGNITION
COIL RESISTANCE .
Ignition Coil Resistance
Measure resistance between primary terminals of coil. Measure resistance between positive primary terminal and coil tower. See IGNITION
COIL RESISTANCE table. Verify resistance between coil case and primary positive terminal is infinite. Replace coil if resistance
measurements are not within specifications.
IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE
IDLE SPEED & IGNITION TIMING
Ensure idle speed and ignition timing are set to specification. For adjustment procedures, see ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS article.
SUMMARY
If no faults were found while performing BASIC TESTING , proceed to TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
If no hard codes are found in self-diagnostics, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for diagnosis
by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.) or intermittent diagnostic procedures.
