Auxiliary Coolant Pump (w/HP2)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The auxiliary coolant pump circulates coolant through the engine and heater core when HVAC requires heating and the engine is HOT and OFF. The HCM will turn on the auxiliary coolant pump when the HVAC control module commands it to do so by sending a class 2 signal to the HCM.
