Overall Function Check

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.
NOTE: Use this procedure to check the overall function of the cooling fan. During this check, a DTC might not be confirmed.
NOTE: For diagnostic procedure, see DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE .

For overall function check, see Fig 1.
