that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check for coolant leaks from
the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fans are op erating by checking the fan sound and air
flow. If it is difficult to check these, tu rn the air conditioning system on and off
