SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P261B, P261C, P261D

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).

  • Open or short in engine water pump assembly circuit

  • Engine water pump assembly

  • ECM
P261C Engine water pump assembly output voltage is less than specified value while the engine water pump assembly is operating (1 trip detection logic).

  • Short in engine water pump assembly circuit

  • Engine water pump assembly

  • ECM
P261D Engine water pump assembly output voltage is higher than specified value while the engine water pump assembly is operating (1 trip detection logic).

  • Open in engine water pump assembly circuit

  • Engine water pump assembly

  • ECM

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.

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 Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (ACTIVATE THE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP)

    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the Techstream on.
