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.
