DTC P16B3-19: Multi Flow Control Valve Motor Circuit Current Above Threshold [09/2023 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Lexus TX 500h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT WATER CONTROL VALVE
Refer to INSPECTION [09/2023 - ]
Result
Proceed to OK NG Result:
NG
REPLACE WATER CONTROL VALVE. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2023 - ]
Result:
OK
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WATER CONTROL VALVE - ECM)
Pre-procedure1
- Disconnect the water control valve connector.
- Disconnect the ECM connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition Result C39-5 (FCM+) or C26-3 (FCM+) - Other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher kΩ C39-4 (FCM-) or C26-4 (FCM-) - Other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher kΩ Result
Proceed to OK NG
Post-procedure1
- None
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 3
- INSPECT ECM (INTERNAL CIRCUIT)
Pre-procedure1
- Disconnect the water control valve connector.
- Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Connect an oscilloscope between the terminals of the water control valve.
ECM Terminal Name C39-5 (FCM+) - C39-4 (FCM-) Tester Range 2 V/DIV., 1 ms./DIV. Condition Ignition switch ON
- While the ignition switch is ON, check the waveform between the FCM+ terminal and FCM- terminal during fail-safe.

25% duty waveform is output
HINT:
- Check the operation circuit of the ECM by checking the waveform during fail-safe.
- Because fail-safe is prohibited when the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F) or less, work in a location where the ambient temperature is 5°C (41°F) or higher.
- DTCs may be stored during this inspection. Check for DTCs and clear them using the GTS.
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Post-procedure1
- None
Result:
OK
REPLACE WATER CONTROL VALVE. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2023 - ]
Result:
NG
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [09/2023 - ]
