Fan Controls
Fan Motor Test
1. Disconnect the 2-P connector from the fan motor.
2. Test the motot by connecting battery power to the
B terminal, and ground to the A terminal
3. lf the Jan motor fails to run smoothly, replace it.
NOTE: The illustration shows the radiator fan.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
Switch Test
NOTE: Bleed air from the cooling system atter install-
ing the engine coolant temperature (ECT) switch (see sec-
tion 1O).
1. Remove the ECT switch from the thermostat
housing.
2. Suspend the ECT switch in a container of coolant
as shown.
Heat the coolant and check engine coolanl tempera-
ture with a thermometer.
Check the continuity between the A and B terminals
according to the table:

a lf there is continuity, go to step 3.
a lf there is no continuity, replace the switch.
Check for continuity again, this time with th€ engine
runnrng.
a lf there is continuity, go to step 4,
a lf there is no continuity, the switch is OK.
Make sure engine oil level is OK, then check engin€
oil pressure (s€e section 8).
a lf engine oil pressure is OK, replace the switch'
a lf engine oil pressure is low, check the sngine oil
pump (see section 8) and, if necessary, replac€ it.

NOTE: Refer to page 23-116 fot the wiring description
oJ the engine coolant temperature (ECT) gauge circuit
diagram.
1. Check the No. 15 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash
tuse/relay box before testing.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the YEL/GRN wire from the ECT gauge send-
ing unit and g.ound it with a jumper wire.
Turn the ignition switch ON (lll.
Check that the pointer of the ECT gauge starts mov-
ing toward the "H" mark,
CAUTION: Tuln th6 ignition switch OFF botore th€
point reaches "H" on tho gaugo dial. Failuro to do
so may damago tho gaugo.
a It the pointer of the gauge does not move at all,
check Jor an oDen in rhe YEL or YEL/GRN wire.
lf the wires are OK, replsce the ECT gauge.
a It the ECT gauge works, test the ECT sending
untt.

ECT Sending Unit Test
Disconnect the YEL/GRN wire from the ECT send-
ing unit.
With the engine cold, use an ohmmeter to measure
resistance between the positive terminal and the en-
gine (ground).
Check the temperature of the coolant.
Run the engine and measure the change in ,esistance
with the engine ai operating temperatu.e {the radi-
ator tan comes on).
5. ll the obtained readings are substantially different
