P26CD
Engine Coolant Pump Control Circuit High
Voltage on the engine coolant pump control line is above the expected window. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
