The Motor Electronics Cooling System (MECS) pump is electrically driven and controlled by the PCM through the MECS pump relay. The PCM energizes the MECS pump relay by pulling the MECS pump output to ground when the ignition is in the ON position.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Power Distribution Box (PDB) fuse 14 (10A)
- MECS coolant pump
- Wiring
- MECS coolant pump relay
