Important Fitment Exclusions
Do not assume this particular Tykick pump fits:
- Toyota Camry Hybrid
- Toyota Avalon Hybrid
- Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
- Toyota RAV4 Prime
- Camry or Avalon models with the 3.5L V6
- Vehicles with a different original pump number
- Later model years not specifically supported by the seller

Part-number similarity is useful. It is not legally binding marriage paperwork between two components.
Product Specifications
- Brand: Tykick
- Product type: Electric engine coolant pump
- Primary OE reference: 16032-25010
- Drive type: Electric
- Engine: 2.5L A25A-FKS gasoline four-cylinder
- Installation type: Vehicle-specific replacement
- Package quantity: One water-pump assembly
- Warranty: Seller-stated six-month Fortify coverage
- Warranty protection: Defects in materials and workmanship under normal use
The six-month coverage is substantially shorter than the warranty offered with some competing aftermarket pumps. Buyers should review the seller’s current claim procedure, exclusions and return terms before ordering.
How the Electric Water Pump Works
The A25A-FKS uses an electrically driven water pump rather than relying exclusively on a belt-driven mechanical design. The engine-control system can adjust pump operation independently of engine RPM.
This supports:
- Faster engine warm-up
- Controlled coolant circulation
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Reduced parasitic drag
- More precise engine-temperature management
- Cooling under different load conditions
Electric operation also introduces electrical and electronic failure possibilities. The pump can fail because of a damaged motor, internal controller, connector, wiring circuit or mechanical impeller problem.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Water Pump
Possible symptoms include:
- Engine overheating
- Temperature warning
- Check Engine Light
- Reduced-power operation
- Cooling-system performance codes
- Pump communication or speed codes
- Coolant leakage near the pump
- Unusual humming or grinding
- Weak cabin heat
- Cooling fan running at high speed
- Rapid temperature changes
- Pump failing an active scan-tool test
A failed pump is only one possible cause of overheating. Low coolant, trapped air, thermostat failure, radiator restriction, cooling-fan problems and combustion leakage can create similar symptoms.
Our guide on why a car overheats while driving explains how different cooling failures behave under load and at idle.
Diagnose the Pump Before Replacing It
Before ordering a replacement:
- Check the coolant level with the engine completely cold.
- Scan all vehicle modules for stored and pending codes.
- Review freeze-frame and live temperature data.
- Command the electric pump with a capable scan tool.
- Verify pump power and ground.
- Inspect the connector for corrosion or heat damage.
- Inspect the cooling system for leakage.
- Confirm thermostat operation.
- Check radiator-fan operation.
- Verify the OE number on the installed pump.
If coolant is disappearing, follow our guide on how to find a coolant leak before assuming the pump is guilty.
Installation Notes
Never remove a pressure cap or disconnect a coolant hose while the engine is hot. Pressurized coolant can cause severe burns.
General installation includes:
- Confirming fitment through the VIN and OE number.
- Allowing the engine to cool completely.
- Disconnecting the battery as directed by Toyota service information.
- Draining the engine-coolant circuit.
- Disconnecting the pump electrical connector.
- Removing the attached coolant hoses.
- Removing the original pump and mounting hardware.
- Comparing both pumps before installation.
- Installing the correct gasket or seal.
- Reconnecting the hoses and electrical connector.
- Refilling with Toyota-approved coolant.
- Running the correct bleeding procedure.
- Activating the pump with a scan tool when required.
- Checking for leaks and proper circulation.
- Clearing codes and completing a road test.
Do not apply power to a dry pump unless the manufacturer specifically allows it. Coolant normally lubricates and cools internal pump components.
Bleeding the Cooling System
Air trapped after installation can cause:
- Intermittent overheating
- Poor heater performance
- Pump cavitation
- Gurgling sounds
- Incorrect coolant-temperature readings
- Repeat cooling-system codes
Follow the Toyota service procedure for the exact model. A scan tool may be required to command the pump during bleeding.
For general draining and refill practices, read our guide on how to flush a car cooling system.
Use the Correct Coolant
Use coolant meeting Toyota’s specification for the vehicle. Do not choose coolant only by color.
Mixing incompatible coolant may cause:
- Deposits
- Reduced corrosion protection
- Seal deterioration
- Restricted passages
- Pump damage
- Heater-core blockage
Our guide to automotive coolant types explains the differences between common coolant chemistries.
Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Tykick 16032-25010 pump fit?
It is listed for select 2018–2021 Toyota Camry, 2019–2021 Toyota RAV4 and 2021 Toyota Avalon models with the gasoline 2.5L A25A-FKS engine.
Does it fit a 2021 Avalon?
It is listed for 2021 Avalon XLE and Limited models with the 2.5L engine. Those gasoline four-cylinder applications were associated with AWD. It does not replace the pump on the 3.5L V6.
Does it fit a Camry Hybrid?
The Tykick listing specifically identifies gasoline applications. Do not purchase it for a hybrid without confirming the VIN and original OE number.
Does it fit a RAV4 Hybrid or Prime?
Not according to the stated gasoline-only application list. Hybrid and Prime fitment requires separate verification.
Is this the main engine water pump?
Yes. It is an electrically driven pump for the engine-coolant circuit—not an auxiliary cabin-heater or hybrid inverter pump.
Is this pump belt-driven?
No. It uses an electric motor and electrical connector.
Will replacing it fix overheating?
Only when the pump is the actual cause. Check coolant level, thermostat operation, radiator airflow, cooling fans, electrical circuits and trapped air first.
Is a gasket included?
The supplied description does not clearly confirm gasket contents. Review the product images and package list before installation.
What warranty does Tykick provide?
The seller states that the pump carries six months of Fortify coverage for defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
Why should the original number be checked?
Toyota used several visually similar electric pumps and revised part numbers. The OE number provides more reliable fitment guidance than model and engine size alone.
Use the Toyota Owners manual and warranty portal for vehicle-specific service information. A broader 16032-25010 application reference is also available, but final fitment should be determined by VIN.
