The cooling fan rotates. (with connector terminal pin 2
disconnected)
(6) Check for the cooling fan operation.
Using a suitable probe connect the fan controller termi-
nal 2 at controller side to earth.The cooling fan stops.
(When pin 2 of fan controller is connected to earth)
(7) Turn the ignition switch to the "OFF" position.
(8) Disconnect fan controller connector A-24, and re-locate
connector terminal pin 2 into connector housing.

installed correctly.
Q: Does the cooling fan rotate? And when the fan
controller pin 2 is connected to the body earth, does
the cooling fan stop?
YES : Go to Step 23.
NO : Replace the fan motor and fan controller (Refer to
14-25). Then go to Step 24.

STEP 23. MUT-III self-diag code
Check if an MPI system self-diag code is set. (Refer to GROUP
13A - Trouble shooting 13A-5).
Q: Diagnosis code set?
YES : Inspection chart for diagnosis code (Refer to GROUP
13A - Trouble shooting 13A-17)
NO : Replace the engine-ECU (Refer to GROUP 13A,
Engine-ECU 13A-675 ). Then go to Step 24.
STEP 24. Check the symptoms.
Q: Does the radiator fan motor and the condenser fan
motor operate correctly?
YES : This symptom is complete.
NO : Return to Step 1.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 4: Radiator Fan and Condenser Fan do not Change Speed or Stop
.
Radiator Fan and Condenser Fan Drive
Circuit
Refer to 5.
.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The cause could be a malfunction of the fan con-
troller power supply or earth circuit.
If the communication line wiring harness between
the fan controller and the engine-ECU is
short-circuited to earth, the radiator fan motor
and the condenser fan motor will not rotate.
The cause could also be a malfunction of input
signal from the A/C switch, the water temperature
sensor unit and the vehicle speed sensor
or the output shaft speed sensor to the
engine-ECU.
The cause could also be a malfunction of the fan
controller or the engine-ECU.
