Troubleshooting
Bofore troubleshooting check- tightness of the alternator belt (see page 23-1Og).- that the malfunction indicator tamp lMlL) of the ECM does not blink. lf it blinks, refer to section 1 1.
lf the charging system light is on, or th€ battery is dead or low, p€rtorm the following tests in the order listed below:
1. Baftery Test (see page 23-66)
2. Charging System Light Test
3. Alternator/RegulatorTest

Alternator Replacement
NOTE: The original radio has a coded theft protection
circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before
- disconnecting the battery.- removing the No. 32 {7.5 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box.- removing the radio.
After service, reconnect powet to the radio and turn it on.
When the word "CODE" is displayed, enler the cus-
tomer's 5-digit code to restore radio operation.
1 . Disconnect the ground cable from the battery nega-
tive (- ) terminal.
2. Disconnect the alternator connector from the al-
rernaror.

NOTE: Reconnect the battery ground cable and turn
the radio on. When the word "CODE" is displayed,
enter the customer's 5-digit code.

Fan Controls
Fan Motor Test
1. Disconnect the 2-P connector from the fan motor.
2. Test the motot by connecting battery power to the
B terminal, and ground to the A terminal
3. lf the Jan motor fails to run smoothly, replace it.
NOTE: The illustration shows the radiator fan.
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
Switch Test
NOTE: Bleed air from the cooling system atter install-
ing the engine coolant temperature (ECT) switch (see sec-
tion 1O).
1. Remove the ECT switch from the thermostat
housing.
2. Suspend the ECT switch in a container of coolant
as shown.
Heat the coolant and check engine coolanl tempera-
ture with a thermometer.
Check the continuity between the A and B terminals
according to the table:
