DTC P023A-00: Charge Air Cooler Coolant Pump Control Circuit/Open; DTC P023A-71: Charge Air Cooler Coolant Pump Control Actuator Stuck [11/2021 - ]: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350, 2024 Lexus NX 350, 2023 Lexus NX 350, and 2022 Lexus NX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P023A-00 OR P023A-71) 
    1. Read the DTCs.

      Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes 

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      DTC P023A-00 or P023A-71 is output A
      DTC P023A-00 or P023A-71 and other DTCs are output B

      HINT: 

      If any DTCs other than P023A-00 or P023A-71 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC CHART. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [11/2021 - 03/2023]  , or refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [03/2023 - 03/2024]  , or refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [03/2024 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CONTROL THE INTERCOOLER WATER PUMP) 
    1. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List while the Active Test "Control the Intercooler Water Pump" is set to 85%.
      NOTE:

      Be sure to perform the inspection with the battery voltage at 11 V or higher.

      HINT: 

      If the battery voltage is low, the electric water pump assembly may stop operating.

      Powertrain > Engine > Active Test 

      Active Test Display
      Control the Intercooler Water Pump
      Data List Display
      Intercooler Water Pump Speed

      Result

      GTS Operation Intercooler Water Pump Speed Proceed to
      85% 4000 rpm or less A
      7000 rpm or higher B
      Other than above C

      HINT: 

      • If the electric water pump assembly voltage is extremely high or low, control may be temporarily stopped and a DTC stored.
      • The coolant will freeze at -15°C (5°F) at 30% coolant concentration and at -35°C (-31°F) at 50% coolant concentration.
      • DTC P023A-71 will be stored if the electric water pump assembly cannot rotate due to freezing of the coolant.
      • If DTC P023A-71 is stored due to freezing of the coolant, the problem cannot be reproduced. Judge whether freezing of the coolant occurred from the coolant replacement history and the ambient temperature when the DTC was stored.

    Result: 

    See step  4

    Result: 

    CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. Refer to  CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [11/2021 - ] 

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. REPLACE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the electric water pump assembly.

  4. CHECK COOLANT LEVEL AT RESERVOIR 
    1. Check the coolant (for intercooler) level.

      Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 2

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      At or below reservoir tank LOW level A
      At or above reservoir tank LOW level B

    Result: 

    See step  7

    Result: 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK FOR COOLANT LEAK 
    1. Check the turbocharger and intercooler cooling system for coolant leaks.

      Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1

      OK

      No leaks in turbocharger and intercooler cooling system.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  7

    Result: 

    NG
