This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer has detected a problem with the electric pump that helps cool down the electronics in a hybrid or electric vehicle. It's like if a fan in your computer stopped working.
The P2E41 code indicates an issue with the control circuit for the second electronics coolant pump in a hybrid or electric vehicle. This could be due to an open circuit, which means the electrical path is broken.
The P2E41 code is triggered when the vehicle's powertrain control module (PCM) detects a malfunction in the control circuit for the Hybrid/EV electronics coolant pump B. This could be due to an open circuit, faulty wiring, or a defective pump.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Overheating of hybrid/EV electronics
• Reduced vehicle performance
• Faulty electronics coolant pump B
• Open or shorted wiring in the pump circuit
• Bad connection or corrosion in the pump's electrical connector
PCM: Powertrain Control Module
OBD-II: On-Board Diagnostics II
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the P2E41 code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for the electronics coolant pump B.
• Test the electronics coolant pump B for proper operation.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the electronics coolant pump B if faulty.
• Clear the code and test drive the vehicle to ensure the issue is resolved.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Basic hand tools (screwdrivers, pliers)

Moderate
• Toyota Prius
• Chevrolet Volt
• Nissan Leaf
• Regularly inspect and maintain the vehicle's cooling system.
• Ensure proper electrical connections and clean any corrosion.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommended service intervals.
Electrical Circuit Issue
• Do not ignore the Check Engine Light; address the issue promptly.
• If you're not comfortable with electrical repairs, consult a professional mechanic.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer as the electronics coolant pump may be covered under warranty for hybrid/EV components.
This code has become more common with the increase in hybrid and electric vehicles, highlighting the importance of maintaining the cooling systems for electronic components.
High – Failure to address this issue can lead to overheating and damage to the vehicle's electronics.
Driving with a malfunctioning electronics coolant pump can lead to overheating and potential damage to the vehicle, which may not be covered by warranty if neglected.
• Engine running
• Vehicle at operating temperature
The electronics coolant pump B is typically located near the hybrid/EV battery or inverter assembly.
Q: Can I drive my car with a P2E41 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it can lead to overheating and damage to the vehicle's electronics.
Q: How do I know if my electronics coolant pump is failing?
A: Symptoms include the Check Engine Light, overheating of electronics, and reduced vehicle performance.
