Cooling fan

pressure and vehicle speed. It may
sometimes operate even when the
vehicle is not running.
5. Check the condition and connec -
tions of all cooling system hoses
and heater hoses.
6. Replace any swollen or deterio -
rated hoses.
7. Check the coolant level. The cool -
ant level should be filled between
F and L marks on the side of the
coolant reservoir when the engine
room is cool.
