Replacing the water pump on a Lexus CT200h

Hello everyone and welcome to ‪@AutoScholarwithMrB‬ ! Today we are doing a quick water pump job on this 2013 Lexus CT200h. Any year CT200h will apply, along with the 2010-2016 Toyota Prius. This is an easy job that should take a little over an hour to do.
Be careful of the water pump you use for replacement. Make sure it is an authentic AISIN water pump. I have a link below to the correct pump if you are wanting to save money instead of using the dealer. This is the only pump I have ever used and I have never had one with problems.
Tools needed:
12mm socket, I used a deep well 1/4 inch drive on a ratchet
10mm socket for air box resonator removal
Flathead screwdriver
Torque wrench for 12mm bolts
Drain pan for coolant recovery
When removing the water pump, you will lose a little less than a gallon of coolant. I used Zerex 50/50 fomulated for Asian vehices but I normally use the factory coolant. If using full strength coolant, Toyota recommends the water used to be distilled.
Link to parts:
Water pump: amzn.to/3T1tgZb
Coolant I used: amzn.to/49pR2Dm
Thermostat if needed: amzn.to/3ODlDVV
Thanks for watching!

Awesome, thanks! Super easy, barely an inconvenience. I removed all bolts from the top

[@BENCKYTV]

how did you manage to remove the middle bottom one ? Thanks a lot !

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

I have a video on this same job on the Prius and I show you how to remove the bolt from the top on that video.

[@riceburner4747]

I wished Toyota put temperature guages on their hybrids AND for traction battery. Thank u for telling us around mileage to change them. Great camera/instructions work.👍

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

I agree, the lack of a gauge has doomed many head gaskets on these cars.

[@salvadorsanchez2359]

¡Gracias!

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

De nada!

[@blinkinbaboonbiskit]

Done. THanks for the info, and the link for the pump.

Great video! My high-temperature warning light came on randomly one day at 150k miles on my CT200h. I replaced the water pump using the Aisin from Rock Auto because I've been burned too many times by Amazon counterfeits and didn't want to take a chance with my car. The tip about turning the wheel to the right and accessing the bottom bolt from the wheel well worked really well! Personally, I found it easier to get the three bottom bolts from that area and the top two from above. I also went to O'Reilly to buy a radiator coolant hose to connect to the drain hole for the coolant, so I didn't have to completely remove the panels. I used a bucket when I removed the water pump and placed it behind the pump when looking from the bottom.

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

There are many fakes on Amazon, but the link in the description is Aisin’s Amazon store. Thanks for the other tips and thanks for watching!

I just had my head gasket done 4 months ago go and just got the same light today, came one and off now I’m thinking my pump my be going out.I haven’t had any codes but haves ur light came back on since replacing the pump.? Did you have any symptoms before changing it out.?

[@DrRichtofenXx]

@@justinaaceves8437 no official codes popped up just the high temp light popped up once on a hot summer day. The water pump is known to fail in these cars after 100k-150k miles. Check fluids to make sure its not coolants levels dropping. I also did coolant drain and fill since i was gonna be messing with the pump. So far the car is running great 2k miles later. I monitor it every once in a while with an obd2 scanner and temp levels have never gone above 198F.

[@hugocabrera9418]

Ok great thank you . Im sure u will get a good amount of views with that one there is really no information on the sending unit or float . Car is great had it for a year also . Thank you for all your videos .

[@witchywedges]

I ordered a water pump from the amazon link you provided but I think they sent me a fake water pump? It didn’t come in a Aisin box and the gasket was preinstalled. The toyota logo is not scratched off either. Thoughts?

[@hugocabrera9418]

mr b my sending unit is out no video's on how to change out the fuel pump assembly .

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

If I come across a car needing that repair, I will film it.

[@renescocina9199]

My ct200h has been the most expensive and troublesome toyota I've ever owned, between the headgasket failing, and hybrid battery replacement in 6k in the hole. Now the waterpump failure.

[@maxprintscreen4972]

But it is easy to repair 😂

[@atillabicak9319]

Great video! Will the ECU be operational when plugged back in or will it need a diagnostic tool from the dealer to program it to work?

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

No, it’s plug and play!

[@amirnaghian4491]

Don’t need program???

[@flashsushi1843]

Should this be replaced at intervals or when it is about to fail? I have 178k miles on my '12 CT200h and thinking of getting coolant replaced so maybe best to get pump replaced as well? Thanks for any advice.

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

@@flashsushi1843 at that mile range, absolutely

[@henrymatthews9365]

This is so easy id change it every 70k with no problems, hard to believe that Toyota charges more than a couple hundred bucks to do the work. If your not good with tools id say an independent owned shop can do this work for half of what toyota would charge.

[@organicvids]

630 hose pinch clamps?

[@joselarrarte6964]

What symptoms did your car presented that you knew it needed a new water pump? Today I was driving on the highway at about 50m and the temperature light went on for about 5 seconds or so. My car has 150k miles and replaced the HeadGasket when it had 120k

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

No symptoms, just preventive maintenance. Overheating and codes normally represent a faulty pump however.

[@becvd1]

Is the procedure and part the same for a 2015 CT200h?

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

Yes, everything is the same.

[@becvd1]

@@AutoScholarwithMrB Thanks! What else would you change out on a '15 with 145K miles?

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

@becvd1 I would do the thermostat while you are there definitely.

[@becvd1]

Thanks! Also, how would you check the status of the hybrid battery and if it needs to be changed?

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

@@becvd1 Dr. Prius app works okay but it is just an estimation.

[@FranciscoGonzalez-ou4jv]

Do you think change the water pump rotor is good idea ? 😊

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

@@FranciscoGonzalez-ou4jv no. Just do the whole pump.

[@FranciscoGonzalez-ou4jv]

@AutoScholarwithMrB Thanks you much Sr.

[@FranciscoGonzalez-ou4jv]

@@AutoScholarwithMrB Thanks for you help did just water pump . But now il getting code p0117 , but i don't where is it locate ? . Can you please help me to locate it ?

[@AutoScholarwithMrB]

@@FranciscoGonzalez-ou4jv check your connections to the coolant temperature sensor. The sensor also may be faulty.
