Troubleshooting

WARNING:

The radiator cooling fan can come on whenever the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. This electric fan starts automatically anytime the ECT sensor senses a coolant temperature higher than a predetermined level even when the engine is not running.

When the ignition switch is in the ON position, be sure to keep hands, tools, clothing, and other items away from the radiator cooling fan and drive belt.

NOTE:

- For details about engine cooling fan operation, refer to Description and Operation Cooling Fan Description.
- Before beginning troubleshooting, be sure to read Precautions for ECM Circuit Inspection Precautions for ECM Circuit Inspection.
- When measuring circuit voltage, resistance and/or pulse signal of ECM, connect the special tool between ECM and ECM connectors. Pinout Values and Diagnostic Parameters
