DTC P261B: Engine Coolant Pump "B" Control Malfunction; DTC P261C: Engine Coolant Pump "B" Control Circuit Low; DTC P261D: Engine Coolant Pump "B" Control Circuit High [10/2014 - ]: Description

The ECM controls the engine water pump assembly by calculating the necessary amount of coolant flow based on engine coolant temperature, engine speed and vehicle speed information. The speed of the engine water pump assembly is controlled steplessly using a duty cycle signal sent from the ECM. This optimal control enhances warm-up performance and reduces cooling losses, thus reducing the specific fuel consumption of the engine.
