INSPACTION PROCEDURE 6: When the A/C is operating condenser fan or radiator fan does not turn.

DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check the fan control relay continuity.

Q: Is the fan control relay continuity in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO : Replace. Then go to Step 4.

STEP 2. Check the condenser fan motor operation
<vehicles with 3.0L engine>.
Check to be sure that the condenser fan motor operates when
battery voltage is applied to terminal 2 and terminal 1
grounded.

Q: Is the condenser fan motor operating correctly?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO : Replace. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Measure the fan controller terminal voltage.
