ELECTRIC COOLING FAN - SYSTEM TESTING
MIRAGE 1.5L
1) With A/C on LOW position, ignition on and engine coolant
temperature greater than 185 F (85 C), thermosensor completes path to
ground, closing radiator fan motor relay contacts and providing
current to radiator fan motor. See Fig. 1.
2) With A/C on HIGH position and ignition on, power supply
from automatic compressor control unit causes condenser fan motor
relay and condenser fan motor control relay to turn on, causing
condenser fan and radiator cooling fan to operate.
