Causes
- Faulty or intermittent CAN/LIN network between battery coolant pump module and vehicle control module
- Open or shorted wiring, damaged connector, or corroded pins at pump/module
- Blown fuse or failed relay powering the pump module
- Defective battery pack coolant pump module or pump motor
- Poor ground connection at pump/module or vehicle chassis ground
- Software/firmware mismatch or module programming corruption
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) or warning indicator illuminated
- Battery thermal management disabled or reduced (warnings on dash)
- Reduced charging rate or charge inhibited by battery management system
- Unusual battery temperature increase or thermal warnings
- Possible loss of driveability or entry into limp/limited performance mode
- No operation from battery coolant pump A when expected
What to check
- Read all stored and pending DTCs and freeze frame data with a capable scan tool
- Confirm whether the pump A module is present/listed on the network via scan tool
- Visually inspect connectors, wiring, and harness for damage, corrosion, or water ingress at pump and battery pack
- Check fuses and relays that supply the pump/module for continuity and correct operation
- Verify proper battery/ignition supply voltage and ground at the pump/module connector
- Perform CAN bus voltage checks and look for activity on CAN high/low with a scope or graphing scan tool
Signal parameters
- CAN High/CAN Low differential voltage and idle voltages (typically ~2.5 V common mode, ~0.5–2.5 V differential when active)
- Presence and frequency of pump module messages (messages/sec or ms interval)
- Module 'alive' or heartbeat signal count
- Battery coolant pump supply voltage (12 V or high-voltage control feed depending on design)
- Pump motor current draw (A) when commanded on
- Ground resistance at module (ohms)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Use a scan tool to record all codes, freeze frame, and whether the pump A module appears on the network. Note related U-codes.
- Confirm symptom: attempt to command the pump on/off via scan tool (if supported) and observe response/messages.
- Visually inspect wiring and connectors at the battery pack and pump for damage, corrosion, or loose terminals; repair as needed.
- Check fuses and relays for the pump/module circuit; verify supply voltage at the module connector with ignition on and with pump commanded.
- Verify ground integrity: measure resistance between module ground and vehicle chassis (
- Probe CAN bus near the module: verify idle voltages and active message traffic with a scope or CAN diagnostic tool. Compare to a known-good segment.
- If bus voltages or message traffic are absent/intermittent, trace CAN wiring back toward junctions and other modules, checking continuity and shorts to ground/voltage.
- If power, ground, and CAN are good at the module connector but no messages, suspect a failed pump control module. Verify with swap or module bench test if available.
- If pump module reports but pump motor does not run, check motor resistance and insulation, relay/power driver, and apply bench 12 V (or follow HV safety procedures) to verify motor operation.
- Repair or replace wiring, connector, fuse/relay, pump module or pump motor as indicated. After repair, clear codes and perform a full system test and road test; monitor for reappearance.
- Check for software updates or calibration procedures from manufacturer and perform VIN-specific reprogramming if required by repair.
Likely causes
- Loose or corroded connector at the pump control module
- Loss of power or ground to the pump module (blown fuse or bad relay)
- CAN high/low wiring open or shorted near the battery pack
- Failed pump control module (internal electronics)
- High module resistance or intermittent wiring causing dropped messages
Fault status
Status
Lost communication with Hybrid/EV battery pack coolant pump A control module — no valid messages received. Battery thermal management may be reduced or disabled until communication is restored.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.5-3.0 hours
