NOTE;
. Check the engine coolant level. and allow the engine to warm up before troubleshooting.
. Any abnormality must be corrected before continuing the test.
. Because of the precise measurements needed. use a multimeter when testing.
o Before performing any troubleshooting procedures check:- Fuses No. 41 11.5 Al, No. 55 (40 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box. and No. 17 (7.5 A) in the under-dash fuse/relay
box- Grounds No. G401, G402- Cleanliness and tightness of all connectors
