Great video! My high-temperature warning light came on randomly one day at 150k miles on my CT200h. I replaced the water pump using the Aisin from Rock Auto because I've been burned too many times by Amazon counterfeits and didn't want to take a chance with my car. The tip about turning the wheel to the right and accessing the bottom bolt from the wheel well worked really well! Personally, I found it easier to get the three bottom bolts from that area and the top two from above. I also went to O'Reilly to buy a radiator coolant hose to connect to the drain hole for the coolant, so I didn't have to completely remove the panels. I used a bucket when I removed the water pump and placed it behind the pump when looking from the bottom.

There are many fakes on Amazon, but the link in the description is Aisin’s Amazon store. Thanks for the other tips and thanks for watching!

I wished Toyota put temperature guages on their hybrids AND for traction battery. Thank u for telling us around mileage to change them. Great camera/instructions work.👍

I agree, the lack of a gauge has doomed many head gaskets on these cars.

My ct200h has been the most expensive and troublesome toyota I've ever owned, between the headgasket failing, and hybrid battery replacement in 6k in the hole. Now the waterpump failure.

I ordered a water pump from the amazon link you provided but I think they sent me a fake water pump? It didn’t come in a Aisin box and the gasket was preinstalled. The toyota logo is not scratched off either. Thoughts?

Ok great thank you . Im sure u will get a good amount of views with that one there is really no information on the sending unit or float . Car is great had it for a year also . Thank you for all your videos .

mr b my sending unit is out no video's on how to change out the fuel pump assembly .

If I come across a car needing that repair, I will film it.

What symptoms did your car presented that you knew it needed a new water pump? Today I was driving on the highway at about 50m and the temperature light went on for about 5 seconds or so. My car has 150k miles and replaced the HeadGasket when it had 120k

No symptoms, just preventive maintenance. Overheating and codes normally represent a faulty pump however.

Is the procedure and part the same for a 2015 CT200h?

Thanks! Also, how would you check the status of the hybrid battery and if it needs to be changed?
