DTC P0C4A (1074):  ES Coolant Pump Control Performance

General Description 

GHH415090Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The electric powertrain system has a liquid cooling system, which uses an electric water pump to circulate the coolant. The electric water pump speed is controlled according to the drive command from the battery condition monitor module A and the speed is returned to the battery condition monitor module A. The battery condition monitor module A monitors the electric water pump speed and when the actual speed is higher or lower than normal speed for a set time, the battery condition monitor module A detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the battery condition monitor module A memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL and the POWER SYSTEM indicator comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The MIL and the POWER SYSTEM indicator is cleared if the malfunction does not return in the next trip in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL and the POWER SYSTEM indicator, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
