Violations in operation of the fan of a radiator

If the thermostat fails or is torn maple the belt (only at the four-cylinder engine), can lead the idle fan of a radiator to too considerable increase of temperature of cooling liquid.

After the engine a little cools down, it is possible to reach to the next workshop on average turns and at the smooth movement. Thus do not lose sight of the indicator of temperature and an alarm bulb.

On the contrary, idling and the creeping speed are deadly to the engine. Through plates of a radiator does not pass the cooling stream of fresh air in these conditions. If continuation of a trip because of traffic conditions possibly only at a low speed, you have to find out at once a cause of defect and in the presence of the fan with the electric drive if it is necessary, to put a crossing point on a thermoswitch.

Malfunctions in the viscous fan

Viscous coupling has to be replaced, if:

  • at the idle engine the fan easily is not turned;
  • at the fan a big axial and radial beating (the small gap is admissible);
  • silicone oil acts from viscous coupling.

Violations in operation of the viscous fan

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. In the beginning check additional safety locks (see the head the Electrotechnical equipment).
  2. If they as it should be, switch-off the thermoswitch socket.
  3. Peremknite both contacts in the wire socket a piece of a wire.
  4. Peremknite all three sockets in a two-level thermoswitch.
  5. If now the fan at the included ignition works, (in this case empirically) the thermoswitch brought out of an electric chain – often found malfunction is faulty.
  6. To continue a trip, clamp a wire crossing point in the socket and reliably insulate an adhesive tape or a plaster in order to avoid short circuit.
  7. If the peremykaniye of a thermoswitch did not help, check the fan relay in the central switching knot (see the head the Electrotechnical equipment). If both wires of a thermoswitch of a peremknuta, have to be audible as at inclusion of ignition contacts of switching in the relay become isolated.
  8. If it not so, becomes a temporary crossing point in the relay. For this purpose connect a piece of a wire contacts of the socket of the relay of plugs 30 and 87 (an office paper clip) and insert the relay.
  9. The fan of a radiator has to work even at the switched-off ignition. If this is so, is faulty the relay.
  10. The crossing point from a wire can be used as the temporary help on the way. After a trip it needs to be removed.
  11. If success is not achieved in such way, check the fan engine:
  12. Disconnect the wire socket to the engine of the fan and instead of it connect to contact of a red/black wire an auxiliary wire to the positive plug of the accumulator. Connection of the socket of a brown wire is connected directly to the negative plug.
  13. If the propeller still does not rotate, the fan engine is faulty – replace it.
  14. But if the fan works, relays (see the head the Electrotechnical equipment), sockets of wires, and also all connections of a thermoswitch and the electric fan have to be checked.
  15. You without cares can continue a trip also with the radiator fan receiving power supply directly from the accumulator. The auxiliary wire has to be isolated in order to avoid short circuit.
