I don't have this particular car. But in general, when the engine compartment is warmed up with the engine off, you should NOT be able to spin the fan much more than 1/4 or 1/2 turn by hand. You know, grabbing it on a blade and giving it a spin.

If it spins for a couple turns you need a new fan clutch assembly.

Hope this helps.
