    I have the following error codes: U0293, P261C

    I inspected the water pump and replaced it with a new OEM one but the error codes did not clear.
    All fuses are good but I am not positive about the more advanced relays and wiring.

    She’s got 200,000 + miles and I’d like to keep her going strong.

    Any help is appreciated.
    TIA,

    Which water pump did you replace? The engine water pump or inverter water pump?

    Your post doesn't quite make it clear- did you clear the codes using your diagnostic tool?

    Just replacing a broken part does not clear the related code(s). You have to do that yourself.
