Radiator Fan Switch Test
NOTE: Bleed air from the cooling system after installing
the radiator fan switch (see page 10-6).
1, Remove the radiator fan switch from the radiator
(see page 10-17).
2. Suspend the radiator fan switch (A) inacontainer
of water as shown.
3. Heat the water, and check the temperature with a
thermometer. Do not let the thermometer (B) touch
the bottom of the hot conlainer.
4. Measure the continuity between terminal No. 1 and
terminal No. 2 according to the table.
