Subaru Outback: Cooling fan, hose and connections
Your vehicle employs an electric cooling fan which is thermostatically controlled
to operate when the engine coolant reaches a specific temperature.
If the radiator cooling fan does not operate even when the coolant temperature
high warning light illuminates, the cooling fan circuit may be defective. Check
the fuse and replace it if necessary. Refer to “Fuses” F11-46 and “Fuses and circuits”
