Operation
The radiator cooling fan operates automatically, controlled by the vehicle's engine management system. It activates when the engine coolant temperature reaches a predetermined level or when the air conditioning system is engaged, ensuring efficient heat dissipation from the radiator.
Maintenance

Ensure the electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion. Keep the radiator fins clean to allow for optimal airflow.
Troubleshooting
- Fan Not Activating: Check the electrical connection, relevant fuses, and relays. Ensure the engine coolant temperature sensor is functioning correctly.
- Excessive Noise: Inspect the fan blades for contact with the shroud or foreign objects. Check for loose mounting bolts.
- Engine Overheating: If the fan is operating but the engine still overheats, investigate other cooling system components such as the radiator, thermostat, or water pump.
If issues persist, consult a qualified automotive technician.
