      DTC P26CB-71 and other DTCs are output B

    Result: 

    GO TO DTC CHART 

    Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [08/2020 - 12/2021]

    Result: 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL IN RESERVOIR TANK 
    1. Check that the engine coolant level is between the FULL and LOW lines.

      Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 2

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Engine coolant level is above the LOW line A
      Engine coolant level is below the LOW line B

    Result: 

    See step  6

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS 
    1. Check the areas around the engine and heater for engine coolant leaks.

      Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1

      HINT: 

      If the engine oil is cloudy during the engine oil level dipstick check, it means that engine coolant has entered the engine lubrication system.

      OK

      No leaks.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  5

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. ADD ENGINE COOLANT 
    1. Fill the reservoir tank up to the FULL line with engine coolant.
      NOTE:

      Make sure not to add engine coolant when the engine is hot.

    See step  6

  5. REPAIR OR REPLACE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS, COMPONENT AND AREA 
    1. Repair any engine coolant leaks.

      HINT: 

      Add engine coolant and perform air bleeding after repair.

  6. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (ACTIVATE THE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the Electric Water Pump / Data List / Electric Water Pump Speed.

      Powertrain > Engine > Active Test 

      Active Test Display
      Activate the Electric Water Pump
      Data List Display
      Electric Water Pump Speed
    5. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List while performing the Active Test.

      Standard

      Active Test Operation Electric Water Pump Speed
      3000 rpm 2000 rpm or higher

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  8

    Result: 

    NG 

    See step  7

  7. INSPECT ECM (INTERNAL CIRCUIT) 
    1. Disconnect the engine water pump assembly (water inlet housing) connector.

      (to Engine Water Pump Assembly (Water Inlet Housing))
    2. Measure the resistance while maintaining at 3000 rpm.

      Powertrain > Engine > Active Test 

      Active Test Display
      Activate the Electric Water Pump
      Data List Display
      Electric Water Pump

      Standard

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      C23-2 (SWP) - Body ground During Active Test Resistance fluctuates*

      HINT: 

      *: Using the Active Test, duty control of the transistors in the ECM will be performed. Due to the duty control, resistance of the SWP terminal will be unstable during the Active Test. If the resistance fluctuates while performing the Active Test, it can be determined that the transistor is operating. If the transistor does not operate during the Active Test, the ECM may be malfunctioning.

      Result

      Proceed to
      OK
      NG

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE ECM 

    Refer to REMOVAL [08/2020 - 10/2022]

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  8

  8. REPLACE ENGINE WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY (WATER INLET HOUSING) 
    1. Replace the engine water pump assembly (water inlet housing).

      Refer to REMOVAL [08/2020 - 10/2022]

      HINT: 

      When replacing any cooling system parts, if excessive deposits of rust or scale exist or the concentration of the engine coolant is abnormal, replace the engine coolant.
