20A0407-INSPECTION
ntarTual Check the condenser fin for crushing or other damage.,
l Check the condenser’s high-pressure hose and pipe in-
stallation parts for damage or deformation.
l Check the condenser fan shroud for damage.
CONDENSER FAN MOTOR CHECK
(1) Disconnect the connection of the connector for the
condenser fan motor.
(2) Check to be sure that the condenser fan motor operates
when battery voltage is applied to terminal
@I and terminal
@ is grounded.
RESISTOR CHECK(1) Disconnect the connection of the connector for the
resistor, and then measure the resistance between termi-
nals.(2) The condition can be considered satisfactory if the mea-
sured resistance is within the range noted below.

INSPECTIONN24XcAAENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SWITCH
(ALWAYS-
CLOSED TYPE CHECK)
(1) Remove the engine coolant temperature switch from the
water outlet fitting.
(2) Immerse the engine coolant temperature switch in oil and
heat by a gas stove or similar method so as to increase theoil temperature.
(3) Check to be sure that the engine coolant temperature
switch is switched OFF when the oil temperature reaches
the standard value.
Standard value:
112- 118°C (233-244°F)
CautionUse engine oil for this test; stir it well while heating,
and do not heat more than necessary.
SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATIONN24XDM2. INSTALLATION OF ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
SWITCH (ALWAYS-CLOSED TYPE)
Apply a coating of the specified sealant to the threaded
parts and then install the engine coolant temperature
switches.
