DTC P16EA
DTC P16EA: Electric Engine Coolant Pump Relay Stuck On
General Description
The electric engine coolant pump varies the pump revolution speed according to the powertrain control module (PCM) outputs signal. The PCM outputs signal (EWPC) to the electric engine coolant pump and feeds back the revolution speed (EWP REV) from the electric engine coolant pump to control the revolution speed. Since the flow rate of the pump is in proportion to the revolution speed, the flow rate increases as the revolution speed is raised. After the vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode, the PCM turns off the engine EWP relay. The PCM outputs electric engine coolant pump operation command signal when the engine EWP relay is off to check for engine EWP relay stuck on. The PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC when the revolution speed is equal to or more than the set value continuously for the prescribed time or more to the electric engine coolant pump operation command when the engine EWP relay is off.
Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type
| Execution | Once per driving cycle |
| Sequence | None |
| Duration | 5 seconds or more |
| DTC Type | One drive cycle, MIL off |
Enable Conditions
| Condition | |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | OFF (LOCK) mode |
Malfunction Threshold
When the electric engine coolant pump revolution speed is 600 RPM or more continuously for 5 seconds or more while the engine EWP relay is off.
Possible Cause
- Engine EWP relay stuck on
- PCM internal circuit failure
Confirmation Procedure
Operating Condition
Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
With the HDS
Do the ELECTRIC WATER PUMP TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Diagnosis Details
Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.
Conditions for clearing the DTC
The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
