DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	MIL	Note
P26CB71	Engine Coolant Pump Actuator Stuck	Even though an operation request signal is being output, the inverter water pump with motor assembly does not rotate* (1 trip detection logic).	Lack of engine coolant Engine coolant leak Inverter water pump with motor assembly ECM	Comes on	SAE Code: P26CB DTC for Mexico Models: Applies

*: As the frequency signal (WPI) is 4 Hz when the inverter water pump with motor assembly is stopped to enable the ECM to detect an open or short in the signal line, the inverter water pump with motor assembly speed will be displayed as approximately 160 rpm even when the pump is stopped. If there is an open in the WPI circuit, the engine water pump speed will be displayed as 0 rpm.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM receives a frequency signal (WPI) from the inverter water pump with motor assembly and calculates the speed of the inverter water pump with motor assembly. The ECM outputs an operation duty signal (WPO) to steplessly control the speed of the inverter water pump with motor assembly. If the duty signal (WPI) indicates that the inverter water pump with motor assembly is stopped even though the ECM is outputting an operation duty signal (WPO), the ECM judges that the inverter water pump with motor assembly is stuck and stores this DTC.

As the frequency signal (WPI) is 4 Hz when the inverter water pump with motor assembly is stopped to enable the ECM to detect an open or short in the signal line, the inverter water pump with motor assembly speed will be displayed as approximately 160 rpm even when the pump is stopped.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

• After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

  Click here

• When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

  Click here

1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Turn the GTS on.
4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
5. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].
7. Turn the GTS on.
8. Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

   Click here

9. Start the engine and maintain the engine speed at 2500 rpm or more for at least 70 seconds [B].
10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
11. Read the pending DTCs.

    HINT:

    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
13. Input the DTC: P26CB71.
14. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display	Description
    NORMAL	DTC judgment completed System normal
    ABNORMAL	DTC judgment completed System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE	DTC judgment not completed Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, perform steps [B] through [C] again.
    • [A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.

      The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

    • When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

• Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.

  Click here

  (Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)

• If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

HINT:

• As the frequency signal (WPI) is 4 Hz when the inverter water pump with motor assembly is stopped to enable the ECM to detect an open or short in the signal line, the inverter water pump with motor assembly speed will be displayed as approximately 160 rpm even when the pump is stopped.
• Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P26CB71)

(a) Read the DTCs.

Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes

Result	Proceed to
DTC P26CB71 is output	A
DTC P26CB71 and P26CE37 are output
DTC P26CB71 and other DTCs are output	B

HINT:

If any DTCs other than P26CB71 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

B

GO TO DTC CHART

A

2.	CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL IN RESERVOIR TANK

(a) Check that the engine coolant level is between the FULL and LOW lines.

Click here

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

A

GO TO STEP 6

B

3.	CHECK FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS

(a) Check the areas around the engine and heater for engine coolant leaks.

Click here

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.

NG

GO TO STEP 5

OK

4.	ADD ENGINE COOLANT

(a) Fill the reservoir tank up to the FULL line with engine coolant.

NOTICE:

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

NEXT

GO TO STEP 6

5.	REPAIR OR REPLACE MALFUNCTIONING PARTS, COMPONENT AND AREA

(a) Repair any engine coolant leaks.

HINT:

Add engine coolant and perform air bleeding after repair.

6.	PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (ACTIVATE THE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP)

(a) Enter the following menus.

Powertrain > Engine > Active Test

Active Test Display
Activate the Electric Water Pump

Data List Display
Electric Water Pump Speed

(b) According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List while performing the Active Test.

Standard:

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

OK

GO TO STEP 8

NG

7.	INSPECT ECM (INTERNAL CIRCUIT)

*a	Front view of wire harness connector (to Inverter Water Pump with Motor Assembly)

(a) Disconnect the inverter water pump with motor assembly connector.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
C131-3 (SWP) - Body ground	Ignition switch ON	Resistance fluctuates*

HINT:

• *: When the connector of the inverter water pump with motor assembly is disconnected, the ECM will enter fail-safe mode. When the ECM is in fail-safe mode, a continuous duty signal will be output and the resistance will fluctuate as the transistor inside the ECM is turned on an off.
• If the resistance fluctuates while the ECM is in fail-safe mode after the connector of the inverter water pump with motor assembly is disconnected, it can be determined that the transistor is operating.
• If the transistor is not operating, the ECM may be malfunctioning.
• If the resistance fluctuates after turning the ignition switch to ON, it can be determined that the ECM is in fail-safe mode.

NG

REPLACE ECM

OK
