TuningBot DTC Database · v4.38.5
Generic (OBD-II) interpretation + 1 manufacturer-specific in the TuningBot DTC database.
FordThe control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Coolant Pump "B" Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
FordFord documents P261A:11 (circuit short to ground) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “b” control circuit low. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P261A:12 (circuit short to battery) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “b” control circuit high. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P261A:13 (circuit open) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “b” control circuit/open. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.
Ford documents P261A: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 P261A: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 P261A:92 for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as 1 – coolant pump “b” 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 P261A: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 P261A: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 P261A:B2 for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as coolant pump “a” control under-speed "b" is defined as high temp loop aux pump - component cooling #1". 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 "B" Control circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present.
P261A 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.
