(a) Connect positive (+) lead from the battery to terminal 3
and negative (−) lead to terminal 1.
(b) Check that there is no continuity when connecting the
positive (+) lead from the ohmmeter to terminal 2 and the
negative (−) lead to terminal 1.
(c) When push the switch, check that the indicator light
comes on and there is continuity between terminal 1 and
2.
(d) Check that there is no continuity between terminals 1 and
2 when disconnect the battery lead.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the clutch start cancel

ELECTRIC COOLING FAN
ON−VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH LOW TEM-
PERATURE (Below 83°C (181°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 cooling
fan relay and ECT switch.
(c) Disconnect the ECT switch connector.
(d) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, check the fan main relay, cooling fan relay, cooling fan,
fuses, and check for short circuit between the cooling fan relay
and ECT switch.
(e) Reconnect the ECT switch connector.
2. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH HIGH TEM-
PERATURE (Above 93°C (199°F))
(a) Start the engine, and raise coolant temperature to above
93°C (199°F).
(b) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, replace the ECT switch.
3. INSPECT NO.1 COOLING FAN
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter to the cooling fan connec-
tor.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly, and check
the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 10.9 − 13.9 A
(d) Reconnect the cooling fan connector.
4. INSPECT NO.2 COOLING FAN
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter to the cooling fan connec-
tor.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly, and check
the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 9.1 − 11.1 A
(d) Reconnect the cooling fan connector.

6. BASIC INSPECTION
When the Malfunction code is not confirmed in the DTC check, troubleshooting should be performed in the
order for all possible circuits to be considered as the causes of the problems.
In many cases, by carrying out the basic engine check shown in the following flow chart, the location causing
the problem can be found quickly and efficiently. Therefore, use of this check is essential in engine trouble-
shooting.
1 Is battery positive voltage 11 V or more when engine is stopped?
NO Charge or replace battery.
YES
2 Is engine cranked?
NO Proceed to STARTING and continue to trouble-
shoot.
YES
3 Does engine start?
NO Go to step 7.
YES
