P261A/009754 Coolant Pump 2: Open circuit

Possible Symptoms

  • Fault code stored in memory, no check engine light
  • Coolant pump is not operating
  • "In certain North American vehicles with a 2.0L TFSI gasoline engine, the electric (after run) coolant pump may short circuit and/or overheat, potentially leading to a vehicle fire"

Possible Causes

  • Faulty electrical coolant pump
  • Coolant pump is disconnected
    • If Recall/Service Action 19N4 was completed, the coolant pump will be disconnected and no fault code will be present.
      • If the above is true, then the vehicle should have an open Campaign for the 19N8 Service action

Possible Solutions

  • Install a new electric (after-run) coolant pump and update ECM software (Audi dealer only)
  • Check VIN here to see if there is an open campaign: https://web.audiusa.com/recall/# Audi Recall Service Campaign Lookup
