Lost Communication With Coolant Pump “B”

Page language: EN

Causes

  • Open or short in the communication bus (CAN/LIN) between pump module and controller
  • Faulty coolant pump module 'B' (internal controller failure)
  • Blown fuse or failed power/ground to the pump module
  • Corroded or damaged connector or wiring harness at the pump
  • Intermittent connection (moisture, bent pins) or poor ground
  • Network bus termination or wiring fault (low/high resistance)

Symptoms

  • Diagnostic trouble code U0624 stored (lost communication with coolant pump B)
  • Coolant pump 'B' not responding to commands or not running
  • Coolant temperature warning, reduced cooling performance, possible overheating
  • Related warning lamps or messages on dash
  • Intermittent or permanent loss of pump control, possible limp-home behavior

What to check

  • Scan tool: read U0624 and any related codes, check freeze frame and occurrence count
  • Inspect pump connector(s) for corrosion, bent pins, moisture, or damage
  • Check fuses and relays supplying pump module power and control circuits
  • Verify good ground(s) at pump module and nearby chassis grounds
  • Check continuity and resistance on communication bus between pump and main controller
  • Use scan tool to monitor CAN/LIN bus traffic and attempt to command the pump

Signal parameters

  • Expected periodic network messages from coolant pump module (manufacturer-specific CAN/LIN IDs and message intervals)
  • Typical idle CAN bus voltages: CAN_H ~2.5–3.5 V, CAN_L ~1.5–1.0 V (recessive) — verify with vehicle spec
  • Message frequency: pump status and heartbeat messages often in the 10–200 ms range (vehicle-specific)
  • Power supply: nominal battery voltage at pump connector with ignition on (~12 V) and during cranking
  • Ground: low resistance to chassis ground (

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a factory-level scan tool. Confirm U0624 is current or historical and note freeze-frame data.
  2. Clear codes and reproduce the fault by cycling ignition/starting vehicle and exercising cooling system; re-check codes.
  3. Visually inspect pump B connector and harness for damage, corrosion, or moisture; repair as needed.
  4. Verify supply voltage and ground at the pump connector with a DMM. Replace blown fuses or faulty relays before continuing.
  5. Monitor the network: use scan tool to watch for pump module presence/messages. If no messages, probe CAN/LIN lines for proper voltages and waveform with an oscilloscope.
  6. Check continuity from the pump connector to the main gateway/ECU for communication lines; look for opens/shorts to battery or ground.
  7. Attempt to command the pump from the scan tool while watching for response and bus activity.
  8. If communication is intermittent, flex wiring harness while monitoring to locate break. Repair wiring or connectors.
  9. If wiring, power and bus are confirmed good and the module still does not communicate, consider replacing or reprogramming the coolant pump module per manufacturer procedures.
  10. After repair or module replacement, clear codes, perform any required relearn or vehicle configuration, and verify normal operation and no recurrence.

Likely causes

  • Damaged connector or wiring near coolant pump
  • Loss of module power or ground (fuse/relay/wiring)
  • CAN/LIN bus fault (open, short to power/ground, missing termination)
  • Failed coolant pump module electronics

Fault status

⚠️ Status
No network messages received from Coolant Pump 'B' module; controller reports lost communication or bus fault affecting the pump.
