Overall Function Check

Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.

WARNING: Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious burns could be caused by high pressure fluid escaping from the radiator. Wrap a thick cloth around cap. Carefully remove the cap by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.

With CONSULT-II

Check the COOLANT level in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking COOLANT level .

If the COOLANT level in the reservoir tank and/or radiator is below the proper range, skip the following steps and go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .
Confirm whether customer filled the COOLANT or not. If customer filled the COOLANT, skip the following steps and go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .
Turn ignition switch ON.
