Causes

Failed or weak pump motor (mechanical or electrical failure)
Blocked or obstructed pump impeller or coolant passages
Low coolant level, air in cooling loop, or contaminated coolant
Faulty pump speed/tachometer sensor or missing/erratic tach signal
Open/shorted wiring, poor connector, blown fuse, or bad relay for pump circuit
Insufficient supply voltage or high series resistance (voltage drop)

Symptoms

Dash warning light(s) and a battery cooling system or hybrid system warning
Battery pack temperature rising faster than normal or higher than target
Reduced HVAC or battery thermal management performance
Possible limp-home or reduced hybrid performance to protect battery
Unusual pump noise (grinding, whining) or no audible pump operation
Stored freeze-frame data showing pump commanded ON but low speed

What to check

Read freeze frame and live data with a capable diagnostic scanner (commanded pump state, actual pump speed/tach, pump current, supply voltage, coolant temps).
Verify coolant level, inspect reservoir and visible lines for leaks, contamination, or air pockets; top up and properly bleed system if low.
Perform a visual inspection of pump, harness, connectors and grounds for corrosion, damage or loose pins.
Check fuse(s) and relay(s) for the pump power circuit; verify proper operation.
Measure supply voltage at the pump connector with pump commanded ON; compare to battery pack/ignition voltage.
Check pump current draw (amps) while running; abnormal low or no current suggests motor or connection fault, very high current suggests mechanical jam.

Signal parameters

Commanded pump state (ON/OFF) or PWM duty (%) from controller
Pump supply voltage (V) at connector while commanded ON
Pump current draw (A)
Pump tachometer output frequency (Hz) or RPM
Battery pack coolant inlet/outlet temperatures (°C or °F)
Battery pack temperature or battery thermal management setpoint

Diagnostic algorithm

Connect an OBD-II scanner capable of reading hybrid/EV modules. Record freeze-frame data and all related codes.
Attempt to reproduce the condition with the pump commanded ON while monitoring live data: commanded duty, actual tachometer/RPM, supply voltage and current. Note differences.
Visually inspect pump, hoses and reservoir for leaks, contamination, kinks or air pockets. Verify coolant level and bleed if necessary.
Verify fuses and relays in the pump power circuit; replace if faulty. Inspect and wiggle harness/connectors while monitoring live data for intermittent changes.
With proper safety procedures for high-voltage systems, measure voltage at the pump power pins with the pump commanded ON. Low voltage indicates wiring/connection loss or supply issue.
Measure pump current while running. No/very low current implies open motor or driver; very high current implies mechanical binding—investigate impeller and flow restriction.
Probe the pump tachometer/speed signal with a scope or frequency meter while running. No or erratic signal suggests sensor failure or wiring issue between pump and controller.
If mechanical blockage is suspected, isolate and inspect the pump (service manual procedure). Replace pump if impeller damaged or motor seized.
If electrical drive circuitry is suspected after verifying wiring and connectors, inspect/replace the pump assembly (many units include motor and driver electronics) or check the controlling module per manufacturer service information.
After repairs, clear codes and perform a full functional test and road/drive cycle to confirm proper pump operation and that the DTC does not return.
Note: High-voltage components should only be serviced by technicians trained and equipped for HV systems. Follow all manufacturer safety procedures.
