TEMPERATURE (Below 88°C (190°F))
(a)  Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b)  Check that the cooling fan stops.
If not, check the cooling fan relay and ECT switch, and check
for a separated connector or severed wire between the No.1
radiator fan relay and ECT switch.
(c)  Disconnect the ECT switch connector.
(d)  Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, check the No.1 radiator relay, No.2 radiator fan relay,
cooling fan, fuses, and check for short circuit between the
No.1 radiator fan relay and ECT switch.
(e)  Reconnect the ECT switch connector.
2.  CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH HIGH
TEMPERATURE (Above 97°C (207°F))
(a)  Start the engine, and raise coolant temperature to above
97°C (207°F).
(b)  Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, replace the ECT switch.

Heat the component that is the likely cause of the mal-
function  with a hair dryer or similar object. Check to see
if the malfunction occurs.
NOTICE:
(1) Do not heat to more than 60°C (140°F). (Temperature
limit that no damage is done to the component).
(2) Do not apply heat directly to parts in the ECU.
HEAT METHOD:  When the problem seems to occur when the suspect area is heated
WATER SPRINKLING METHOD:  When the malfunction seems to occur on a rainy
  day or in a high±humidity condition.
OTHER:  When a malfunction seems to occur when electrical load is excessive.
Sprinkle water onto the vehicle and check to see if the
malfunction  occurs.
NOTICE:
(1) Never sprinkle water directly into the engine compart-
ment, but indirectly change the temperature and humidity
by applying water spray onto the radiator front surface.
(2) Never apply water directly onto the electronic compo-
nents.
(Service hint)
If a vehicle is subject to water leakage, the leaked water may
contaminate the ECU. When testing a vehicle with a water leak-
age problem, special caution must be used.
Turn on all electrical loads including th3e heater blower,
head lights, rear window defogger, etc. and check to see
if the malfunction occurs.

18. BRAKE PEDAL
(a)  Check that pedal for smooth operation.
(b)  Check that the pedal has the proper reserve
distance and freeplay.
(c)  Check the brake booster function.
19. BRAKES
At a safe place, check that the brakes do not
pull to one side when applied.
20. PARKING BRAKE
(a)  Check that the pedal has the proper travel.
(b)  On a safe incline, check that the vehicle is
held securely with only the parking brake
applied.
21. AUTOMATIC  TRANSMISSION  PARK
MECHANISM
(a)  Check the lock release button of the selector
lever for proper and smooth operation.
(b)  On a safe incline, check that the vehicle is
held securely with the selector lever in the ºPº
position and all brakes released.

22. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
23.  ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Check that the coolant level is between the
LEVEL  lines on the see±through reservoir at
normal temperature (20°C (68°F)).
24.  RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a)  Check that the front of the radiator is clean
and not blocked with leaves, dirt or bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or
loose connections.
25. BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Check the indicator.
When the indicator color is blue, the condition
is satisfactory. A red color indicates that dis-
tilled water must be added, and white indi-
cates that charging is necessary.
26.  BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
Check that the brake fluid level is near the up-
per level line on the see±through reservoir.27.  ENGINE DRIVE BELT
Check drive belt for fraying, cracks, wear or
oil contamination.
28.  ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check that level on the dipstick with the en-
gine turned off.
29.  POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL
Check the level on the dipstick.
The level should be in the ºHOTº or ºCOLDº
range depending on the fluid temperature.
30. A U TO M AT I C TRANSMISSION FLUID
LEVEL
(a)  Park the vehicle on a level surface.
(b)  With the engine idling and the parking and
foot brake applied, shift the selector into all
positions from ºPº to ºLº, and then shift into ºPº
position.
(c)  Turn and pull out the dipstick and wipe off the
fluid with a clean rag.
Re±insert the dipstick fully and check that the
fluid level is in the ºHOTº range.
(d)  Perform this check with the fluid at normal
driving temperature (70±80°C (158±176°F)).
If the level is at the low side, add fluid.
NOTICE: Do not overfill.
HINT: Wait about 30 minutes before checking
the fluid level after extended driving at high
speeds  in hot weather, driving in heavy traffic
or with a trailer.
31. EXHAUST SYSTEM
Visually inspect for cracks, holes or loose
supports.
If any change in the sound of the exhaust or
smell of the exhaust fumes is noticed, have
the cause located and correted. MA±18
