DTC No.	Detection Item	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area	MIL	Memory	Note
P26CB71	Engine Coolant Pump Actuator Stuck	Even though an operation request signal is being output, the water inlet housing with water pump sub-assembly does not rotate* (1 trip detection logic).	Lack of engine coolant Engine coolant leak Water inlet housing with water pump sub-assembly ECM	Comes on	DTC stored	SAE Code: P26CB

*: As the frequency signal (WPI) is 4 Hz when the water inlet housing with water pump sub-assembly is stopped to enable the ECM to detect an open or short in the signal line, the water inlet housing with water pump sub-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 water inlet housing with water pump sub-assembly speed will be displayed as 0 rpm.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

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

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

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.

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

Click here
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 water inlet housing with water pump sub-assembly is stopped to enable the ECM to detect an open or short in the signal line, the water inlet housing with water pump sub-assembly speed will be displayed as approximately 160 rpm even when the pump is stopped.
Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. 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) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).
