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.
l Check the resistor.Conditions

B, refer to GROUP g-Timing Belt B.
INSPECTIONN07MDAL
V-RIBBED BELTCheck following items and replace if faulty.
l Check belt surface for damage, peeling or cracks.
l Check belt surface for oil or grease.
l Check belt rubber for wear or brittleness.
l Check the pulleys for cracks or damage.
WATER PUMP
lCheck each part for cracks, damage or wear, and replace
the water pump assembly if necessary.
l Check the bearing for damage, abnormal noise and
sluggish rotation, and replace the water pump assembly if
necessary.lCheck the seal unit for leaks, and replace the water pump
assembly if necessary.
lCheck for water leakage. If water leaks from hole “A”, seal
unit is leaking. Replace as an assembly.

SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATIONN07ME40a
26. INSTALLATION OF O-RINGsInsert the O-ring to the water inlet pipe, and coat the,buter
circumference of the O-ring with water.,
By coating with water, the insertion to the water pump will
become easier.
Caution
1.Care must be taken not to permit engine oil or other
greases to adhere to the O-ring.
2.When inserting the pipe, check to be sure,that there
is no sand, dirt, etc. on its inner surface.
24. INSTALLATION OF WATER PUMP,
(1) Clean both gasket surfaces of water pump body and
cylinder block.
(2) Install new water pump gasket and water pump
assembly and tighten the bolts.
