DTC P16B3-19: Multi Flow Control Valve Motor Circuit Current Above Threshold [10/2022 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2025 Toyota Highlander, 2024 Toyota Highlander, and 2023 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- INSPECT WATER CONTROL VALVE
- Inspect the water control valve.
Refer to INSPECTION [10/2022 - ]
Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPLACE WATER CONTROL VALVE. Refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - ]
Result:
OK
See step 2
- Inspect the water control valve.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (WATER CONTROL VALVE - ECM)
- 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 C73-5 (FCM+) or C88-3 (FCM+) - Other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher C73-4 (FCM-) or C88-4 (FCM-) - Other terminals Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Result:
OK
See step 3
- INSPECT ECM (INTERNAL CIRCUIT)
- Disconnect the water control valve connector.
- Inspect the ECM using an oscilloscope.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- While the ignition switch to ON, check the waveform the terminals of the water control valve connector.

(to Water Control Valve)*b Waveform of FCM+ terminal and FCM- terminal during fail-safe ECM Terminal Name C73-5 (FCM+) - C73-4 (FCM-) Tester Range 2 V/DIV., 1 ms./DIV. Condition Ignition switch ON - While the ignition switch to ON, check the waveform between the FCM+ terminal and FCM- terminal during fail-safe.
Standard
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
Result:
OK
REPLACE WATER CONTROL VALVE. Refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - ]
Result:
NG
REPLACE ECM. Refer to REMOVAL [10/2022 - 11/2023] , or refer to REMOVAL [11/2023 - ]
