Generic (OBD-II) interpretation + 1 manufacturer-specific in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Coolant Pump A Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
Ford documents P2600:11 (circuit short to ground) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control circuit low. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P2600:12 (circuit short to battery) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control circuit high. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P2600:13 (circuit open) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control circuit/open. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P2600:1C for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control supply voltage out of range. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P2600:71 for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control actuator stuck. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P2600:92 for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control performance/stuck off. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P2600:98 for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control system over temperature. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P2600:B1 for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control overspeed/dry run. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P2600:B2 for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control under-speed "a" is defined as "high temp loop aux pump - cabin heating". This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.
Generic SAE-standard code: same meaning on every make.
Specific fault index within the subsystem.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (9 variants). The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Coolant Pump A Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
P2600 exists both as a generic OBD-II code (same meaning on every make) and with 1 manufacturer-specific interpretation(s): Ford. Always read it in the context of your vehicle.
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
