    • 10A fuse
    • 40A fusible links
    • Harness for open or short between cooling fan relay-1 and fuse
    • Harness for open or short between cooling fan relay-1 and battery
      1. Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  3. CHECK COOLING FAN MOTOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect cooling fan motor-1 harness connector and cooling fan motor-2 harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between cooling fan relay-1 terminal 5 and cooling fan motor-1 terminal 1, cooling fan motor-1 terminal 4 and ground.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      1. Continuity should exist. 
    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

      1. Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  6. CHECK COOLING FAN RELAY-1 

    Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 7.
    2. NG: Replace cooling fan relay.
  7. CHECK COOLING FAN MOTORS 

    Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .

    OK or NG
