DTC P26CA-12: Engine Coolant Pump Circuit Short to Battery [11/2021 - 03/2022]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Lexus NX 350h, 2024 Lexus NX 350h, 2023 Lexus NX 350h, and 2022 Lexus NX 350h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ECM calculates the necessary cooling amount based on the engine coolant temperature, engine speed and vehicle speed, and controls the engine water pump assembly accordingly. The engine water pump assembly controls the speed of the engine water pump assembly steplessly and optimally based on a duty cycle signal sent by the ECM, which reduces engine warm-up time, improves fuel efficiency and reduces cooling loss.
