COOLING - Troubleshooting7A7
OPERATION
1. When the output of the air conditioner*--control unit is “LO” (OV)(when the
compressor magnet clutch isdeenergized)
l When the ignition switch is at “ON” , and if
engine coolant temperature rises to
85°C
(185”F), the thermosensor contacts close,
causing current to flow through the radiator
fan motor relay (coil), thermosensor and
ground, causing the radiator fan motor relay
contacts to close.
l Current flows through the radiator fan motor
relay contacts, radiator fan motor and ground,causing the radiator fan motor to rotate.
2. When the output of the air conditioner
control unit is “HI” (approx. 12V)(when the
compressor magnet clutch is
energized)l If the therm0 sensor is “ON” when the
engine coolant temperature exceeds
85°C
(185°F). the condenser fan motor control relay
is also “ON”, thus the condenser fan as well
as the radiator fan start rotating at a high
speed.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
1. Neither the radiator fan nor condenser fanrotate at
all.l Check sub fusible link
No.3.
2. Only the condenser fan does not operate.l Check dedicated fuse
No.5.
3. The radiator fan and condenser fan do notoperate
in the low speed mode, but operateotherwise.
(1)The A/C compressor magnet clutch does not
enter the “ON” state.
l Check whether the output of the air con-
ditioner control unit is available.
NOTEFor troubleshooting of the air conditioner
control unit, refer to GROUP 24.
(2)The A/C compressor magnet clutch enters
the “ON” state.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES -
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURENOSFFAI
(1) Before checking compression, ensure that engine oil, the
starter motor, and battery are all in good condition.
(2) Start the engine and wait until engine coolant temperature
has risen to
85-95°C (185-205°F).
(3) Stop the engine and pull the spark plug cables.
(4) Remove the spark plugs.
(5) Crank the engine to remove any foreign objects in the
cylinders.Caution
Cover the spark plug holes with shop towel, etc., in
order to keep expelled foreign objects from flying out,
and keep away from the holes. When measuring
compression with water, oil, or fuel having entered the
cylinder through a crack, etc., these will come flying
out of the spark plug hole hot and fast, so be sure to
take the proper precautions.
(6) Set the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
(7) Holding the throttle valve full open, crank the engine and
measure compression.
Limit: Min. 920
kPa (130 psi) [250-400 rpm]
(8) Perform 6 and 7 above for all the cylinders, ensuring that
compression pressure differential for each of the cylinders
/Iis within the specified limit.
__Differential limit: Max. 100
kPa (14 psi)
(9) If a cylinder’s compression or pressure differential exceeds
the limit, add a small amount of oil through the spark plug
hole and repeat steps (6)-(8).
0If the addition of oil brings compression up, it is possiblethat there is poor contact between the piston ring and
cylinder wall.
@ If not compression does not come up, valve seizure,
poor valve seating, or a compression leak from the
gasket are all possible.
