’HOT’ LIGHT OPERATION
With the ignition switch (and engine stop switch) “ON”,
power is delivered to the hot light via the Red/White
wire. The Blue/White wire (ground) out of the light
socket is connected to the PDM. If engine coolant
reaches the specified temperature, the thermistor
sends a power signal to the PDM, which completes
the ground path for the light. An open thermistor will
cause the engine hot indicator to light and cause the
fan motor to come on.
HOT LIGHT CIRCUIT TEST
1. Disconnect the thermistor.
2. Turn key and auxiliary switch to “ON” position.
The hot lamp (and fan) should come on. Check
the bulb and related wiring if the lamp does not
illuminate.
FANOPERATION/TESTING
Power to the fan is supplied via the PDM when the
ignition key and auxiliary shut--off switch are ON.

resistance,thesignalis readby thePDM,whichturns

CAUTION: Keep hands away fromfanblades during
this procedure. Serious personal injury could result.
NOTE: The fan switch may not function or operation
may be delayed if coolant level is low or if air is trapped
inthe coolingsyste m. Be surecoolin gsystemis fu lland
purged of air . Refer to Maintenance Chapter 2.
FAN BYPASS TEST
1. Disconnect the harness from the thermistor .
2. Turn ignition key (and engine stop switch) “ON”.
The fan (and hot indicator) should turn on.

motor wiring, ground, and motor condition (refer
to Fan Motor Testing this section). Repair or
replace as necessary.
