TROUBLESHOOTING CHART (1)

 

TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOES NOT OPERATE.

    

▼

Remove the fuel tank.

▼

Turn the main switch "ON".

▼

Disconnect the thermo unit connector. Check the battery voltage (12V) on Green/Red lead from the wire harness,

No
►

Check for an open or poor connection between the fuse "SIGNAL" and thermo unit connector.

▼ Yes

    

Disconnect the thermo unit connector. Connect the Green/Red lead from the wire harness to "ground" on the frame; use a jumper lead 1 .

 No
►		 Replace the temperature gauge.

▼

  

 

The temperature gauge needle will swing from "C" to "H".
 
   

▼ Yes 

Replace the thermo unit.

 

 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART (2)

ELECTRIC FAN MOTOR DOES NOT OPERATE.

▼

  

Disconnect the thermo switch 1 lead.

▼
Check for the battery voltage (12V) on Brown lead from the wire harness. No
►		 Check for an open or poor connection between the fuse "FAN" and thermo switch connector.
▼ Yes

Connect the Brown lead and Blue lead; use a jump lead 1 .
▼
The fan motor operates. No
►		 Replace the fan motor.
▼ Yes  
Replace the thermo switch.

 

THERMO UNIT AND THERMOMETER

Operation

The thermo unit has less resistance at higher temperatures and thus allows more current to pass through. When more current flows to the coil in the temperature gauge; the armature to which the needle is attracted by the increased magnetic field. In this way, the needle indicates the temperature.

2 Red zone

Thermo Unit Inspection

1. Remove: 

• Thermo unit 1

CAUTION:
Handle the thermo unit with special care. Never subject it to strong shock or allow it to be dropped. Should it be dropped, it must be replaced.

2. Check the thermo unit operation 

Thermo unit inspection steps:

• Immerse thermo-unit in water.

• Check continuity at indicated temperatures. Note temperatures while heating the water.

3.  Install the thermo unit 2

4.  Tighten the thermo unit

Thermo Unit 2 : 15 Nm (1.5m-kg, 11 ft lb)

CAUTION:
After replacing the thermo unit, check the coolant level in the radiator and also check for any leakage.

ELECTRIC FAN AND THERMO SWITCH

Operation

The electric fan will be switched ON or OFF according to the coolant temperature in the radiator.

1 Electric fan motor

NOTE:
The electric fan is controlled by the thermo switch when the main switch is "ON". Thus, under certain operating conditions, this fan may continue to run until the engine temperature has cooled down to about 98°C (208.4°F).

Thermo Switch Inspection

1. Remove the thermo switch 1

CAUTION:
Handle the thermo switch very carefully. Never subject it to strong shock or allow it to be dropped. Should it be dropped, it must be replaced.

2. Inspect the thermo switch operation

Thermo switch inspection steps:

• Immerse thermo switch in oil. 
• Check continuity as indicated temperatures. Note temperatures while heating the oil.
