Electric Cooling Fan Relay (Diamante, Eclipse, Galant &
Mirage)
1) Remove radiator fan motor relay from relay box located at
right side of engine compartment. Check for continuity between relay
terminals No. 1 and 3. If continuity exists, go to next step. If
continuity does not exist, replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 8.
2) Using a fused jumper wire, connect battery voltage to
cooling fan relay terminal No. 1. Using another jumper wire, connect
cooling fan relay terminal No. 3 to battery ground. With cooling fan
relay energized, there should be continuity between cooling fan relay
terminals No. 4 and 5. With cooling fan relay not energized, there
should be no continuity between terminals No. 4 and 5. If continuity
does not exist as specified, replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 8.
Electric Cooling Fan Relay (Montero, Montero Sport & 3000GT)
1)Remove relay from relay box in engine compartment relay
box. Check for continuity between relay terminals No. 2 and 4. If
continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist,
replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 9.
2) Using a fused jumper wire, connect battery voltage to

condenser fan does not operate, check dedicated fuse No. 16 (20-amp)
located in engine compartment relay box. See WIRING DIAGRAMS. Repair
as necessary.
2) If radiator fan and condenser fan operate in all speeds
except low, check appropriate low speed relay. See COMPONENT TESTS.
See WIRING DIAGRAMS . If low speed relay is okay, check PCM. See
appropriate G - TESTS W/CODES article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

coolant is 176-203
F (80-95 C). Turn engine off. Insert a paper clip
in engine speed detection connector terminal No. 3. See Fig. 1.
Connect a primary voltage detection-type tachometer to paper clip.

3) Install a timing light. Start engine and allow it to idle.
Ensure engine curb idle speed is about 700 RPM. Curb idle speed is
automatically controlled by Idle Air Control (IAC) system. If curb
idle speed is not as specified, see DTC P0505 in G - TESTS W/CODES
article.
CAUTION: MFI system actuator test must be cancelled or test will
continue to run for 27 minutes. Driving vehicle under this
condition may damage engine.
4) Turn engine off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector
(DLC). DLC is located below left side of dash, near steering column.
See Fig. 2 . Start engine and allow it to idle. Using scan tool, select
MFI SYSTEM ACTUATOR TEST, then select item 17 (BASIC IGNITION TIMING).\
Press "Y" and read basic ignition timing value. See
IGNITION TIMING SPECIFICATIONS table. If basic ignition timing is
within specification, go to next step. If basic ignition timing is not
within specification, cancel MFI system actuator test. See DTC P0335
in G - TESTS W/CODES article.
5) Read actual ignition timing value. If actual ignition
timing is not within specification, cancel MFI system actuator test.

Using tachometer, read curb idle (RPM). Multiply RPM reading by 3 to
obtain actual curb idle speed. Ensure curb idle speed is 600-700 RPM.
Turn engine off. Curb idle speed is automatically controlled by Idle
Air Control (IAC) system. If curb idle speed is not as specified, see
DTC P0505 in G - TESTS W/CODES article.
4) Disconnect waterproof female connector from Brown ignition
timing check connector. See Fig. 4. Using a jumper wire, ground
ignition timing check terminal to read basic ignition timing. Using
timing light, read basic ignition timing value. See
IGNITION TIMING SPECIFICATIONS table. If basic ignition timing is
within specification, go to next step. If basic ignition timing is not
within specification, see DTC P0335 in G - TESTS W/CODES article.
5) Remove jumper wire to read actual ignition timing. Using
timing light, read actual ignition timing value. If actual ignition
timing is not within specification, see DTC P0335 in G - TESTS W/CODES
article.
