SECTION 5. TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR

A COOLANT PUMP diagnostic code indicates an open circuit in the wire

harness, a short in the wire harness between the positive and negative leads

or an internal short in the motor. This component is ground side switched in

the PCM.

The coolant pump is not self-priming. Ensure that the coolant system has

been purged of air by running the vehicle engine for at least ten minutes

following installation or service. (DO NOT run dry.)

Symptom:

Pump not running (code indicated)

Check:

Pump Motor

a)

Connect coolant pump directly to the rated voltage

(12/24 Volts) and see if it runs. If not, replace the pump.

b)

Measure coolant pump motor resistance. Using a

multimeter, measure the resistance across the coolant pump

connector pins. If resistance shows an open circuit or an

internal short circuit, replace the coolant pump.

c)

Measure coolant pump current. Use test lead part #967921K

as described on Service Bulletin #967329 in Appendix.
