Electric Cooling Fan Relay (Diamante, Eclipse, Galant &
Mirage)
1) Remove radiator fan motor relay from relay box located at
right side of engine compartment. Check for continuity between relay
terminals No. 1 and 3. If continuity exists, go to next step. If
continuity does not exist, replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 8.
2) Using a fused jumper wire, connect battery voltage to
cooling fan relay terminal No. 1. Using another jumper wire, connect
cooling fan relay terminal No. 3 to battery ground. With cooling fan
relay energized, there should be continuity between cooling fan relay
terminals No. 4 and 5. With cooling fan relay not energized, there
should be no continuity between terminals No. 4 and 5. If continuity
does not exist as specified, replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 8.
Electric Cooling Fan Relay (Montero, Montero Sport & 3000GT)
1)Remove relay from relay box in engine compartment relay
box. Check for continuity between relay terminals No. 2 and 4. If
continuity exists, go to next step. If continuity does not exist,
replace cooling fan relay. See Fig. 9.
2) Using a fused jumper wire, connect battery voltage to

cooling fan relay terminal No. 2. Using another jumper wire, connect
cooling fan relay terminal No. 4 to battery ground. With cooling fan
relay energized, there should be continuity between cooling fan relay
terminals No. 1 and 3. With cooling fan relay not energized, there
