Taillight Failure Sensor
INSPECTION OF SENSOR
1. INSPECT WARNING LIGHT OPERATION
(a) Disconnect the connector from the failure sensor and
ground the terminal 3 on the wire harness side.
(b) Remove the CHARGE fuse and turn the ignition
switch ON, check that the bulb lights.
If bulb does not light, inspect the bulb.
2. INSPECT SENSOR CIRCUIT
Disconnect the failure sensor connector and inspect the
connector on the wire harness side as shown in the chart.
If circuit is as specified, replace the relay.

°C (185°F))
1. TURN IGNITION SWITCH ºONº
Check that the fans stop.
If not, check the cooling fan relays and water temperature
sensor, and check for a separated connector or severed wire
between the cooling fan relay and water temperature
sensor.
2. DISCONNECT WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR
CONNECTOR
Check that the fans rotate.
If not, check the cooling fan relays, fan motor, engine main
relay and fuse, and check for a short circuit between the
cooling fan relay and water temperature sensor.
3. CONNECT WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR

INSPECTION OF ELECTRIC COOLANT
FAN COMPONENTS
1. INSPECT COOLING FAN ECC FOR CIRCUIT
Disconnect the cooling fan ECU, and check the connec-
tor on the wiring harness side as shown in the chart on the
next page.
High Temperature (85 ± 90°C (185±194°F))
4. START ENGINE
(a) Raise coolant temperature to 85 ± 90°C (185 ±194°F).
(b) Check that the fans rotate. (at low speed)
If not, replace the water temperature sensor.
High Temperature (Above 90°C (194°F))
5. START ENGINE
(a) Raise coolant temperature to above 90
°C (194°F).
(b) Check that the fans rotate. (at high speed)
If not, replace the water temperature sensor.
