Radiator Fan Switch Testing
E@ Removing the radiator fan switch whilethe engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seri-ously scalding you. Always let the enginc and radiatorcool down before removing the radiator fan switch.
1. Remove the radiator fan switch from the thermostathousing (see page 10 '10).
2. Suspend the radiator fan switch in a container ofwater as shown.
Heat the water, and check the temperature with athermometer. Do not let the thermometer touch thebottom of the hot container.
Measure the continuity between the A and B termi-nals according to the table.
Bleed the air from the cooling system after installingthe radiator fan switch (see page 10-5).
