Radiator Cooling Fan Operation Check

Precautions: General safety (00)

WARNING:
The radiator cooling fan can come on whenever the ignition is “ON”. 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 is “ON”, keep hands, tools, clothing, and other items away from the radiator cooling fan and drive belt.
