Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Diagnostic Mode 09 - Read Vehicle Information.

Start diagnosis

- Disconnect the Coolant Pump (V51) electrical harness connector - 3 -.





Checking voltage

Switch the ignition on.

- Using a multimeter, check the Coolant Pump (V51) electrical harness connector terminal 2/31 to Ground (GND) for voltage.





Specified value: battery voltage.

Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the wiring from the Coolant Pump (V51) electrical connector terminal 2/31 to the Generator (GEN) (C) terminal B (+) for a short circuit to Ground (GND), or an open circuit.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If no malfunctions are found in the wiring:

Checking Ground (GND)

- Using a multimeter, check the Coolant Pump (V51) electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Coolant Circulation Pump Relay (J151) socket 7/87 for resistance.





Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specification was not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a short circuit to, Battery (+), or an open.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage was OK:

- Replace the Coolant Pump (V51).

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code Description ] Diagnostic Mode 09 - Read Vehicle Information.

- End diagnosis.

If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the Ground (GND) was not OK:

- Replace the Coolant Circulation Pump Relay (J151).

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Engine.

End of diagnosis
