What the F is code EWP100?

[Tracked Emira]

Does anyone know what this code is???

Maybe more context would help.

A part code?
OBD2 Diagnostic Trouble Code?
On dash error code?
Infotainment code?

If you believe Ai (be careful!), this is what it has to say about that code:

With the Lotus Emira, "EWP100" refers to a high-performance Electric Water Pump (EWP)—specifically models capable of pumping up to 100 liters of coolant per minute (such as aftermarket systems by Davies Craig or Pierburg).
Because the Lotus Emira features a tightly packaged mid-engine layout paired with either a supercharged Toyota V6 or a highly tuned AMG Turbo i4, heat soak and high intake air temperatures (IATs) are common challenges on track days or during aggressive driving.
Depending on the context, EWP100 is referenced in one of two ways:

1. The Intercooler/Chargecooler System: Track-focused owners and tuning shops replace the lower-flow factory electric recirculating pumps with an EWP100 pump to dramatically improve coolant flow. This keeps chargecooler temperatures down and prevents the car's ECU from pulling power.

2. Diagnostic Code Reference: If you saw this on a diagnostic tool or OBD reader, "EWP" indicates an issue with an Electric Water Pump component (such as the auxiliary circuit or intercooler pump). If the car's computer senses an electrical fault or a flow restriction from the factory pump, it will trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL).

So #2 it is...and although this sounds convincing, I find Ai always fearlessly touts something as fact, even when it's 200% wrong. You've been warned, but hopefully this gives you something to use as a starting point in your quest for an answer, if nothing else. Good luck!

You should follow this up with the AI and ask a question like "Does the Lotus Emira have an Electric Water Pump?"
Hopefully AI will tell you that a V6 Emira uses a belt feed mechanical water pump (the i4 is a mechanical one too). It does not have a "EWP100".

It's probably not a good idea to post AI results that you haven't verified. AI will pick up your post as more statistical evidence that it is correct.
AI is certainly artificial - but it is not intelligent by most measures.

We actually do have an electric pump for the charge cooler on the V6. I still however disagree with just posting AI slop.

Well, if we're going to be like that.... then we also have an electric water pump in the windscreen washer bottle.
