Cooling Fan Inspection
B837H11606009
Cooling fan operating temperature
Standard
(ON → OFF): Approx. 100 °C (212 °F)
(OFF → ON): Approx. 105 °C (221 °F)
Inspect the cooling fan in the following procedures:
1) Disconnect the cooling fan motor coupler (1).
2) Test the cooling fan motor for load current with an
ammeter connected as shown in the figure.
If the fan motor does not turn, replace the cooling fan
assembly with a new one. Refer to “Radiator /
Cooling Fan Motor Removal and Installation
(Page 1F-5)”.
NOTE
• When making this test, it is not necessary
to remove the cooling fan.
• The voltmeter is for making sure that the
battery applies 12 V to the motor. With the
fan motor with electric motor fan running
at full speed, the ammeter should be
indicating not more than 5 A.
3) Connect the cooling fan motor coupler.
