Toyota Corolla 2018 Model [MZEA12R] Replace Electric water pump Code P26CB71 (Coolant Pump Stuck)

[@eugenevaticinator4540]

very well made, saved me $1,000 in labour, you need an intermediate car knowledge to fully navigate this repair but this is a very well detailed video.

When replacing the water pump do you have to replace the housing as well? (Water pump stuck off)

[@eugenevaticinator4540]

Yes, genuine part comes as one piece

[@carfix1993]

Yes

How can I know what the model of my Corolla is? I can’t get it on the scanner.

Is this the same as the P26CB code? Mine is giving the same code without the 71 on the end. Thanks.

Addition for anyone that comes across this- you can see by my post above what my code was. The impeller in my water pump was seized. This seems to be a fairly common problem with these electric pumps at around 100,000 miles. Anyway, I changed the pump and the two O-ring style gaskets (one at the connection to the engine block and the other at the water neck/thermostat connection). Then I filled the system up with new Toyota high mileage coolant and followed the procedure to purge air out of the system. This is an important step so don’t just fill it up and forget the rest. The procedure can easily be found online (I think the online version is for a 2017 Camry if I remember correctly). After that the car runs great and the check engine light went off. In this video the mechanic unbolts the water neck before he unbolts the water pump. Good luck with that. I found that it’s easier once the alternator is removed to then unbolt the water pump so you can manipulate it around to get to the water neck bolts. The rear bolt is a beast to access. Another thing you will have to do is remove the plastic guard that covers the entire underside of the radiator and engine to access the drain valve on the radiator. It is located on the bottom of the radiator on the driver’s side of the car. FYI, mine is a 2018 Camry L with the 2.5 4 cylinder engine and at the time of this repair it had 108,000 miles on it.

Very helpful

[@joshrodgers9366]

do you by chance remember roughly how long this took to do?

[@carfix1993]

Nearly 2 hours

[@joshrodgers9366]

Thanks for the info. I'm about to swap a water pump on a Toyota tomorrow hopefully it goes smooth

Good one there

[@hasneansafaa]

Is he an electrician and not a mechanic

[@hasneansafaa]

Why didn't you disassemble the old one and see what the malfunction is

[@LostWalletFab]

I did. The armature swells up. It's a pretty neat design. I had a code for a week before it finally failed.
