P26CA31

Engine Coolant Pump No Signal

The speed of the engine coolant pump calculated from the WPI signal is less than 10 rpm (open or short in the WPI circuit) (1 trip detection logic).
  • Open or short in engine water pump assembly (water inlet housing) circuit
  • Engine water pump assembly (water inlet housing)
  • EFI-MAIN NO. 3 relay
  • ECM

Data List

  • Coolant Temperature
  • Electric Water Pump Target Speed
  • Electric Water Pump Speed

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM receives a frequency signal (WPI) from the engine water pump assembly and calculates the speed of the engine water pump assembly. As the frequency signal (WPI) is 4 Hz when the engine water pump assembly is stopped to enable the ECM to detect an open or short in the signal line, the engine water pump assembly speed will be displayed as approximately 160 rpm even when the pump is stopped. If the engine water pump assembly speed is calculated to be less than 10 rpm, the ECM judges that there is an open or short in the WPI circuit and stores this DTC.

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 2019 - 2020 MY RAV4 [11/2018 - 08/2020]; A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM (w/ Canister Pump Module): DTC CHECK / CLEAR

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

    Click here 2019 - 2020 MY RAV4 [11/2018 - 08/2020]; A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM (w/ Canister Pump Module): DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Turn the Techstream 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 Techstream on.
  8. Move the shift lever to P [B].
  9. Start the engine and maintain the engine speed at 2500 rpm or more for at least 40 seconds [C].
  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
  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: P26CA31.
  14. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Techstream 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 [D] again.
    • [A] to [D]: 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 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:

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

HINT:

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.
