semi dying water pump... self bleeding

I too have classic signs water pump failing - I believe mine too is 'semi dying' ... I note that the 'self bleeding test' this does shoot a high regular speed of water into the expansion tank

I cannot hear the pump ( no noise whatsoever ); on the scanner shows Coolant flow number of 53 fixed vs (6000rpm)

Also get no comms with water pump 2e84

Question - I'm wondering why when the electro side of the pump is clearly failing ( ORANGE & RED OVERHEAT AND LIMP ); it still passes the self bleed 10-12 min test with ease .... and thus convince the user the pump is 'pumping' and though may be pumping isn't when car in use

I'd really like to know why being tricked with self bleed test result

Thanks
