14-6COOLING - Troubleshooting.TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
1. Neither the radiator fan nor condenser fan
rotate at all.
l Check fusible link No. 5.
2. Only the condenser fan does not operate.
l Check dedicated fuse No. 8.
3. The radiator fan and condenser fan do not
operate in the low speed mode, but operate
otherwise.
(1) The A/C compressor magnet clutch does not
enter the “ON” state.
l Check whether the output of the auto
compressor control unit is available.
NOTEFor troubleshooting of the air conditioner
control unit, refer to GROUP 55.
(2) The A/C compressor magnet clutch enters
the “ON” state.
l Check the resistor.
Fan Operating Model Check the radiator fan motor relay (LO)
and condenser fan motor relay (LO).
l Check the therm0 sensor (for radiator
fan).
(3) The radiator fan does not rotate when the ailconditioner switch is turned ON.
l Check the radiator fan motor control
relay.4. The radiator fan and condenser fan do not
operate in the high speed mode, but operate
otherwise.l Check the therm0 sensor (for condenser
fan).

condenser fan motor relay (HI).Air

COOLING - Service Adiustment Procedures.14-7
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
ENGINE COOLANT LEAK CHECKMl4FAAF
1. Loosen cap.
2.Confirm that the engine coolant level is up to the filler neck.
3.Install an adapter to the water outlet fitting and apply 160
kPa (23 psi) pressure. Hold pressure for two minutes, while
checking for leakage from the radiator, hose or connec-
tions.
CautionBe sure to completely clean away any moisture from
the places checked.
When the tester is removed, be careful not to spill anyengine coolant from it.
Be careful, when installing and removing the tester andwhen testing, not to deform the water outlet fitting.
4. If there is leakage, repair or replace the appropriate part.
CAP PRESSURE TESTM14FBAH1. Use a special tool to attach the cap to the tester.
2.Increase the pressure until the indicator of the gauge stops
moving.
Limit: 65
kPa (9.2 psi)
Standard value: 75
- 105 kPa (11 - 15 psi)
3:Replace the cap if the reading does not remain at or above
the limit.
NOTEBe sure that the cap is clean before testing, since rust or
other foreign material on the cap seal will cause an
improper indication.

(1) Immerse the engine coolant temperature switch in oil and
then heat (by using a gas stove flame or similar method) so
as to increase the oil temperature.

switch is switched OFF when the oil temperature reaches
the standard value.
Standard value: 112

Caution
The oil used above should be engine oil and should be
stirred well while being heated; do not heat more than
necessary.
