DTC P2602:  Electric Engine Coolant Pump Circuit Low Voltage

General Description 

GHH416925Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

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. If the electric engine coolant pump revolution speed is low continuously for the prescribed time when the PCM outputs signal to the electric engine coolant pump, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type 

Execution Continuous
Sequence None
Duration 5 seconds or more
DTC Type One drive cycle, MIL on

Enable Conditions 

Condition Minimum Maximum
Engine coolant temperature [ECT Sensor 1] -13 deg.F (-25 deg.C) -
12 volt battery voltage [Battery] 10.5 V 16.0 V
Electric engine coolant pump drive duty 40 % -
Vehicle ON mode

[ ]: HDS Parameter

Malfunction Threshold 

The electric engine coolant pump is 600 RPM or less for at least 5 seconds.

Possible Cause 

NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
  • Electric engine coolant pump power supply line open
  • Electric engine coolant pump EWPREV line short to ground
  • Electric engine coolant pump ground line open
  • Electric engine coolant pump EWPC line short to ground
  • Electric engine coolant pump EWPREV line open
  • Electric engine coolant pump power supply line short to ground
  • Electric engine coolant pump failure
  • PCM failure

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

Enter the maintenance mode, then start the engine.

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, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, 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.
