Fan Motor Test
Disconnect the 2P connector from the fan motor.
Test the motor by connecting battery power to the
B terminal, and ground to the A termlnal.
lf the fan motor fails to run smoothly, replace it.
NOTE: The illustration shows the radiator fan.
Radiator Fan Switch Test
NOTE: Bleed air from the cooling system after installing
the radiator fan switch (see section 10)
1. Remove the radiator fan switch from the thermostat
housing.
2. Suspend the radiator fan switch in a container ol
coolanl as shown.
Heat the coolant and check engine coolant tempera
ture with a thermometer.
Check the continuity between the A and B terminals
according to the table:

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Gauge
Gauge Test
NOTE: Refer to page 23-123 for the wiring description of
the engine coolant temperature (ECT) gauge circuit dia-
gram.
1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the YEL/GRN wire trom the ECT gauge send-
ing unit and ground it with a jumper wire.
YEL/GRN WIRESENDING UNIT
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check that the pointer of the ECT gauge starts mov-
ing toward the "H" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the
pointer reaches "H" on the gauge dial. Failure to do
so may damage the gauge.
a lf the pointer of the gauge does not move at all,
check lor an open in the YEL or YEL/GRN wire.
lf the wires are OK, replace the ECT gauge.
a lf the ECT gauge works, test the ECT sending
unrt.
ECT Sending Unit Test
Disconnect the YEL/GRN wire from the ECT send-
ing unit.
With the engine cold, use an ohmmeter to measure
resistance between the positive terminal and the en-
gine (ground).
Check the temperature ol the coolant.
Run the engine and measure the change in resistance
with the engine at operating temperature (the radi-
ator fan comes on).
5. It the obtained readings are substantially different
from the sDecifications above, replace the ECT send-
Ing unrt.

Gauges (cont'd)
- How the Circuit Works
When the ignition switch is in ON (ll) or START (lll),
battery voltage is supplied through fuse 25 to the
gauges in the gauge assembly.
Speedometer and Odometer
The odometer and speedometer drive circuits
receive pulses lrom the vehicle speed sensor
(VSS). The pulse rate increases as the car
accelerates. The frequency and duration of these
input pulses are measured and displayed by the
speedometer, odometer and tripmeter.
Tachometer ('98-'99 Models)
The tachometer drive circuit receives oulses from
the ignition control module (lCM) in the distributor
assembly. The solid-state tachometer then displays
these pulses as engine speed. For each 200 pulses
per minute from the ignition control module (lCM),
the tachometer displays 100 RPM.
Tachometer ('00 Model)
The tachometer drive circuit receives pulses f rom
the PCM or ECM. The solid-state tachometer then
displays these pulses as engine speed. For each
200 oulses oer minute trom the PCM or ECM the
tachometer displays 1 00 RPM.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge and Fuel
Gauge
The engine coolant temperature gauge has two
intersecting coils wound around a permanent
magnet rotor. Voltage applied to the coils, through
fuse 25, generates a magnetic field. The magnetic
field, controlled by the engine coolant temperature
gauge sending unit, causes the rotor to rotate and
the gauge needle to move. As the resistance in the
sending unit varies, current through the gauge coils
changes. The gauge needle moves toward the coil
with the strongest magnetic tield. The fuel gauge
works the same way.
The engine coolant temperature gauge sending
unit's resistance varies from about 137 ohms at low
engine temperature to between 30-46 ohms at high
temperature (radiator fan running).
The fuel gauge sending unit's resistance varies from
about 2-5 ohms at full, to about 110 ohms at empty.
When you turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), the
gauge remains at the last reading until you turn lhe
ignition switch to ON (ll) or START (lll) again.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specific tests or troubleshooting procedures.
