ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. INSPECT CONDENSER FAN OPERATION
Inspect the fan operation at these conditions, as shown in the
chart.
Test conditions:

Start engine

Blower speed control switch position ºHIº

Temperature control dial at ºCOOLº position

Set on manifold gauge set

A/C switch ON
ConditionFan operation (Fan speed)
Engine coolant temperature
88 °C (190 °F) or belowRotate (Low speed)
Engine coolant temperature
98 °C (208 °F) or aboveRotate (High speed)
Refrigerant pressure is less than
1,520 kPa (15.5 kgf/cm2, 220 psi)Rotate (Low speed)
Refrigerant pressure is 1,520 kPa
(15.5 kgf/cm2, 220 psi) or aboveRotate (High speed)
If operation is not as specified, proceed to the next inspection.
2. INSPECT CONDENSER FAN MOTOR OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter.
(c) Check that the fan rotates smoothly, and then check the
reading on the ammeter.
Specified amperage: 9.2 - 11.0 A at 20 °C (68 °F)
If operation is not as specified, replace the fan motor.
If operation is as specified, check the pressure switch, cooling
fan relays and water temp. switch.

12. INSPECT FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Connect terminals 1 and 3 on the wire harness side con-
nector.
(c) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
13. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the sender gauge.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the receiver gauge
needle indicates COOL.
(c) Ground terminal on the wire harness side connector
through a 3.4 W test bulb.
(d) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the bulb lights up
and the receiver gauge needle moves toward the hot
side.
If operation is as specified, replace the sender gauge.
Then recheck the system.
If operation is not as specified, measure the receiver gauge re-
sistance.
14. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE RE-
CEIVER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Measure the resistance between terminals with fixing pointer to
the stopper.
Tester connectionResistance (W)
A - B250
C - D250
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the receiver
gauge.

15. INSPECT ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SEND-
ER GAUGE RESISTANCE
Connect the wire harness as shown in the illustration, and ad-
just the ammeter pointer to indicate º0º using the slide rheostat,
then read the rheostat indication.
Temperature °C (°F)Resistance (W)
50 (122.0)160 - 240
120 (248.0)17.1 - 21.2
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the engine cool-
ant sender gauge.
16. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the warning switch and
ground terminal on the wire harness side connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON, check that the warning light
lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
17. INSPECT LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING SWITCH
OPERATION
(a) Check that continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine stopped.
(b) Check that no continuity exists between the terminal and
ground with the engine running.
HINT:
Oil pressure should be over 29 kPa (0.35 kgf/cm
2, 4.3 psi)
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
18. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid warning
switch.
(b) Release the parking brake pedal.
(c) Connect the terminals on the wire harness side of the lev-
el warning switch connector.
(d) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or wire har-
ness.

INSPECTION
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
2. INSPECT NO.1 ECT SWITCH
(a) Remove the No.1 ECT switch.
(b) Inspect the No.1 ECT switch.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity
between the terminals when the coolant tempera-
ture is above 98°C (208°F).
If there is no continuity, replace the switch.
(2) Check that there is no continuity, between the termi-
nals when the coolant temperature is below 88°C
(190°F).
If there is continuity, replace the switch.
(c) Reinstall the No.1 ECT switch.
3. INSPECT NO.2 ECT SWITCH
(a) Remove the No.2 ECT switch.
(b) Inspect the No.2 ECT switch.
(1) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity
between terminals when the coolant temperature is
above 93°C (199°F).
If there is no continuity, replace the switch.
(2) Check that there is no continuity between the termi-
nals when the coolant temperature is below 83°C
(181°F).
If there is continuity, replace the switch.
(c) Reinstall the No.2 ECT switch.
