DTC P26CA-14: Engine Coolant Pump Circuit Short to Ground or Open [08/2020 - 08/2021]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus ES 250, 2023 Lexus ES 250, 2022 Lexus ES 250, and 2021 Lexus ES 250. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT ECM (INTERNAL CIRCUIT)
*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Engine Water Pump Assembly (Water Inlet Housing))- Disconnect the engine water pump assembly (water inlet housing) connector.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the Electric Water Pump.
Powertrain > Engine > Active Test
Tester Display Activate the Electric Water Pump - Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C66-2 (SWP) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG), during Active Test Resistance fluctuates* HINT:
*: Using the Active Test, duty control of the transistors in the ECM will be performed. Due to the duty control, resistance of the SWP terminal will be unstable during the Active Test. If the resistance fluctuates while performing the Active Test, it can be determined that the transistor is operating. If the transistor does not operate during the Active Test, the ECM may be malfunctioning.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE ENGINE WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY (WATER INLET HOUSING). Refer to REMOVAL [08/2020 - 08/2021]
Result:
NG
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY (WATER INLET HOUSING) - ECM)
- Disconnect the engine water pump assembly (water inlet housing) connector.
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition C66-2 (SWP) - C77-50 (WPO) Always Below 1 Ω C66-2 (SWP) or C77-50 (WPO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [08/2020 - 08/2021]
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
