Checking internal resistance 

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- for resistance as follows:

Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- electrical harness connector terminals: Specified values
1 to 2 640 to 720 Ω
3 to ground 15 to 17 Ω

If any of the specified values were Not obtained:

-- Replace the Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188-. Refer to appropriate Service Information.

-- Go to Final procedures.

If the specified values were obtained:

Checking voltage supply 

NOTE:

The voltage for the Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- is supplied via the Fuse 16 (on fuse panel A) - SA16 -.

-- Check the Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- for voltage.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- electrical harness connector terminal 1 for voltage.

Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- electrical harness connector terminal: Measure to
1 Engine Ground (GND)

Switch the ignition ON.

Specified value: Battery voltage.

-- Switch the ignition OFF.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit or short circuit to Engine ground.

-- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection and replace any open fuses.

-- Go to Final procedures.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring 

-- Remove the Engine Control Module - J623 -. Refer to appropriate Service Information.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- electrical connector terminal 2 to Engine Control Module - J623- electrical connector T60 terminal 2 for an open circuit.

-- Using a Multimeter, check the Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- electrical connector terminal 3 to Engine Control Module - J623- electrical connector T94 terminal 1, 2, or 4 for an open circuit.

Charge Air Cooling Pump -V188- electrical harness connector terminals: Engine Control Module - J623 - electrical connector T60 / T94 terminals:
2 T60 / 2
3 T94 / 1, 2, 4

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specified values were Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery voltage or Ground.

-- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

-- Go to Final procedures.

If the specified value was obtained:

-- Replace the Engine Control Module - J623 -. Refer to appropriate Service Information.

Final procedures 

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
