Generally,
absence
of
voltage
or
continuity
means
there
is
a
wiring
or
connector
problem
.
Test
results
with
incorrect
values
do
notnecessarily
mean
that
a
component
is
faulty
:
Check
for
loose,
broken
or
corroded
connections
and
wiring
before
re-
placing
components
.
If
the
results
are
still
incorrect,
test

In
al¡
models
a
two-speed
electric
auxiliary
cooling
fan
is
mounted
behind
the
front
grill
and
in
front
of
the
radiator
.
This
fan
is
primarily
used
for
the
A/C
sys-
tem,
but
also
operates
when
the
coolant
temperature
ex-
ceeds
a
predetermined
leve¡
.
Warnings
and
Cautions
The
following
warnings
and
Cautions
should
beobserved
when
working
on
the
cooling
system
.
WARNING
-
"
Atnormal
operating
temperature
the
cooling
sys-
tem
is
pressurized
.
Allow
the
system
to
cool
as
long
as
possible
before
opening-a
minimum
of
an
hour-then
release
the
cap
slowly
to
allow
sale
release
of
pressure
.
"
Releasing
the
cooling
system
pressure
lowers
the
coolants
boiling
point
and
the
coolant
may
boíl
suddenly
.
Use
heavy
gloves
and
wear
eye
and
laceprotection
to
guard
against
scalding
.
"
Use
extreme
care
when
draining
and
disposing
of
engine
coolant
.
Coolant
is
poisonous
and
lethal
to
humans
and
pets
.
Pets
are
attracted
to
coolant
because
of
its
sweet
smell
and
taste
.
Consult
a
veterinarian
immediately
if
coolant
is
ingested
byan
animal
.
CAUTION-
"
Avoidadding
cold
water
to
the
coolant
while
the
engine
is
hot
or
overheated
.
If
it
is
necessary
to
add
coolant
to
ahot
system,
do
so
only
with
the
engine
running
and
coolant
pump
tuming
.
"
Prior
to
disconnecting
the
battery,
read
the
bat-
tery
disconnection
cautions
given
at
the
front
of
this
manual
on
page

TROUBLESHOOTING
Most
cooling
system
faults
can
be
grouped
into
one
of
three
categories
:
"
Cooling
system
leaks
"
Poor
coolant
circulation
"
Radiator
cooling
fan
faults
When
investigating
the
cause
of
overheating
or
coolant
loss,
begin
with
a
visual
inspection
.
Be
sure
to
check
the
con-
dition
and
tension
of
the
coolant
pump
drive
belt
.
Check
hoses
for
cracks
or
softness
.
Check
clamps
for
looseness
.
Check
the
coolant
leve¡
and
check
for
evidence
of
coolantleaks
from
the
engine
.
Check
that
the
radiator
fins
are
not
blocked
with
dirt
or
de-
bris
.
Clean
the
radiator
using
low-pressure
water
or
com-
pressed
air
.
Blow
outward,
fromthe
engine
side
out
.
Inspect
the
coolant
pump
by
first
removing
the
drive
belt
from
the
pump
.
Firmly
grasp
opposite
sídes
of
the
pulley
and
check
for
play
in
all
directions
.
Spin
the
pulley
and
check
that
the
shaft
runs
smoothly
.
NOTE-
The
coolant
provides
lubrication
for
the
pump
shaft,
soan
occasional
drop
of
coolant
leaking
from
the
pump
is
acceptable
.
If
coolant
drips
steadily
from
the
vent
hole,
the
pump
should
be
replaced
.
The
cooling
system
becomes
pressurized
at
normal
operat-
ing
temperature,
which
raises
the
boiling
point
of
the
coolant
.
Leaks
may
prevent
the
system
from
becoming
pressurized,
allowing
the
coolant
to
boil
at
a
lower
temperature
.
If
visual
ev-
idence
is
inconclusive,
a
cooling
system
pressure
test
can
help
to
pinpointhard-to-find
leaks
.
If
the
cooling
system
is
full
of
coolant
and
holds
pressure,
the
next
most
probable
cause
of
overheating
are
:
"
Faulty
radiator
fan
"
Loose
or
worn
drive
belt
"
Failed
thermostat
or
coolant
pump
"
Clogged/plugged
radiator
or
coolant
passages
.
NOTE
-
"
Some
early
style
coolant
pumps
were
fitted
wíth
fi-
berlplastic
type
impellers
.
Over
time,
this
impeller
can
wear
away
and
result
in
overheating
.
The
plastic
im-
peller
can
also
slip
or
free-wheel
on
the
pump
shaft
.
If
the
engine
overheats
and
no
other
faults
canbe
found,
theold
style
impeller
may
be
the
cause
of
the
problem
.
"
Only
pumps
with
the
updated
metal
impeller
should
be
used
for
replacement
.
