Service Procedure:
1.
Confirm that there are sufficient coolant levels in the Engine Coolant Reservoir.
 If coolant levels are low, check for leaks and repair as needed.
2.
Turn on the engine.
3.
Connect GDS and clear all related DTC’s.
4.
Use GDS and force activate the EEWP with an actuation test.
NOTICE
GDS-M will display “Operation Command Sent” if the ECU accepted the request
to operate the component.

5.
If EEWP fails to operate when commanded ON with the GDS Actuation Test,
check connectors for loose connections.
o While EEWP is commanded ON, apply a wiggling motion on the
connections to confirm wiring connections and pins are not damaged.
Repair as needed.
Make note of any DTCs that set or failed operation and listen for the EEWP making
noise.
 If EEWP State displays a Fault Code, then replace the EEWP.
 If EEWP State displays a Protection Code, check voltage on auxiliary
battery.
o An EEWP static pressure related DTC may be generated in case of
abnormal auxiliary battery voltage.

6.
Check EEWP S/W version if auxiliary battery voltage is normal.
 Perform S/W reprogramming through GDS in case of version error.
NOTICE
16MY Only: Refer to TSB 16-01-020-1 and verify no circuit pin 3 on C132 (EEWP).
7.
If EEWP fails inspection portion of the service procedure or if P2600 resets, then
the EEWP must be replaced following the steps below.
8.
Shut off the High Voltage circuit.
Refer to the shop manual section for complete service procedure:
Engine Mechanical System > High Voltage Shut-off Procedures
!
WARNING
The hybrid system uses 270V DC high voltage. Be sure to follow safety instructions.
Otherwise, serious injury or death from electrocution may occur.
9.
Remove the engine undercover.
Refer to the shop manual section for complete service procedure:
Engine Mechanical System > Engine and Transmission Assembly >
Engine Room Under Cover
10.
Turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the battery (-) terminal (B).
NOTE: Tightening torque: 8.8 Nm (78 lb-in)
NOTICE

11.
Be sure to record the radio presets prior to battery disconnection.
Loosen the drain plug and drain the engine coolant. Remove the radiator cap to
help drain the coolant faster.
Refer to the shop manual section for complete service procedure:
Engine Mechanical System > Cooling System > Coolant
12.

NOTICE


20.
Clean the EEWP mounting bolt hole with an air gun as the tab may be
damaged by the sealant residue from the seal bolt.
Remove and clean the vibration insulation plate before EEWP reinstallation.
Reinstall parts in reverse order of removal.
NOTICE

Reprogram the radio presets recorded from Service Procedure Step 10.
21.
Fill the Radiator with coolant and check for leaks.
22.
Run the engine for at least 15 minutes after refilling the coolant to allow all the
trapped air to escape, and check EEWP.
NOTICE


!
Bleed air from the hybrid motor cooling system prior to the engine cooling
system.
Bleed air from the engine cooling system.
o Start engine and allow it to warm up until radiator engages 3-4 times
o Turn off engine. Check coolant level and add if needed.
o Put radiator cap on tight, then run engine again and check for leaks.
o Always use new coolant.
CAUTION
Rev-up the engine 2 to 3 times to let out air in the coolant. Note that revving the
engine to high RPMs may activate the “HEV Warning Lamp”, so do NOT apply
excessive pressure when engaging the accelerator pedal.
 If “HEV” Warning Lamp” turns ON, turn OFF the engine and start it back up
for normal operation.
23.
The service procedure is now complete.
