Technical sources including Toyota’s Echo/Yaris repair manuals (NCP series with 1SZ-FE/2NZ-FE/1NZ-FE engines), Toyota service information (TIS), and OE supplier catalogues from Aisin and Gates all list a belt-driven mechanical water pump for these models. It’s mounted on the engine and circulates coolant through the block, head, radiator and heater core.
