DTC Code | DTC Name |
---|---|
P261B | Engine Coolant Pump "B" Control Malfunction |
P261C | Engine Coolant Pump "B" Control Circuit Low |
P261D | Engine Coolant Pump "B" Control Circuit High |
DESCRIPTION
The ECM controls the engine water pump assembly by calculating the necessary amount of coolant flow based on engine coolant temperature, engine speed and vehicle speed information. The speed of the engine water pump assembly is controlled steplessly using a duty cycle signal sent from the ECM. This optimal control enhances warm-up performance and reduces cooling losses, thus reducing the specific fuel consumption of the engine.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
---|---|---|
P261B | Engine water pump assembly speed is less than 900 rpm while the engine water pump assembly is operating (1 trip detection logic). |
|
P261C | Engine water pump assembly output voltage is less than specified value while the engine water pump assembly is operating (1 trip detection logic). |
|
P261D | Engine water pump assembly output voltage is higher than specified value while the engine water pump assembly is operating (1 trip detection logic). |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM calculates the speed of the engine water pump assembly using a duty cycle signal sent from the engine water pump assembly. When the speed of the engine water pump assembly becomes less than 900 rpm while it is operating, the ECM detects the malfunction and stores DTC P261B.
The engine water pump assembly operates steplessly based on a duty cycle signal sent from the ECM. If actual drive duty cycle ratio does not correspond to the target drive duty cycle of the engine water pump assembly, the ECM detects the malfunction and stores DTC P261C or P261D.

Frequency of Operation | Continuous |
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) Click here.
Start the engine and warm it up (until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher) [B].
Idle the engine for 20 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC [B].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P261B, P261C or P261D.
Check the DTC judgment result.

Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACTIVATE THE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the Electric Water Pump.
Touch the engine water pump assembly and check that the pump is operating (vibrating).
