toyota pruis cooling performance low 

Thanks for the video, but there is a much easier way to access the filter and its from inside the cabin, next to the seat push the vent cover up and snap out the cover and see the filter. ( NO NEED TO TAKE OUT BACK PANEL FOR 2010-2015 MODELS)

Hi! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I will say that I got to the part where you take out the fan before you remove the part with the filter, and I lost a bit of confidence because, well, I don’t usually work on cars. After the side panel was off, I could slightly access the filter itself by dislodging that black part with the filter attached a little, enough to stick my hand in and pull out some of the lint and hair and dust. When this happened, I realized I could go in through the vent in the back seat with a small water bottle cleaning brush, loosen up the junk in the filter and then vacuum it out through that vent. So for anyone with few tools and fear of killing your Prius, this is a quick fix. I had already peaked in at the fan to see it was not dirty.

You’re the only one o found that indicated how to reset after cleaning the filter! Thank you!

The pace and energy in the speaker's voice is easy to listen to and that helps with understanding new things.

This was helpful. This applies to a 2014 Prius. No need to remove the motor because this model has the filter that he cleaned. Because of this filter, the fan mother will not be dirty. Once you remove the vent that goes from the filter to the fan, you can look inside the fan to see if it is dirty. Mine had no dust or dirt since the filter blocked it all.

You can actually clean the filter shown at 6:29 without taking any of that stuff apart. Do it from inside the car with a 13mm socket and extension. Push the seat cushion down to access and remove the 13mm bolt. Lift back the filter cover a bit then remove all the hair, lint, etc. Takes less than five minutes.

Thanks for posting this helpful video, it worked for me!👍🏼

Thank you brother, I got the dash sign to go away and got the fan clean

I want to tell you thank you so much for the video I disconnect the battery for five minutes and everything back to normal thank you so so much👍😀

Thanks for the video! To erase the message after, I disconnected the auxiliary 12V positive only, for 1 minute and 30 seconds, and then unlock then lock the Orange switch and on the back, and that got the message erased. Saved me $140 from taking it to the dealer to erase the message. Just thought I’d save your viewers money.

I appreciate that, thank you Sir.

I didn’t have to take off 80% of what this guy did just skip to 6:23 and that’s all you have to do

This video helped so much thank you! Now just have to reprogram

Totally thanks I go and do it tomorrow and I comment later how everything works

This is an awesome video! Thanks for posting!

Thanks for your education.

Thank you so much for the detailed video 👍👍🙏🙏

Dude. You really needed to pull the orange plug to disengage the hybrid system before messing with electronics. In the future just know that you are playing with life and death if you don’t remove it before messing with electronics.

Good morning, how are you? I am an automotive specialist in Brazil! Great video, congratulations, keep it up!

Your an angel thanks!

Thank you so much it made it so easy

Thanks it's hellpfull bro keep it up 👍

Thanks so much Friend, very helpful,

thank you

Thank you

thanks homie

Great video.

Great video!

Thank u

Saved. Great video. I used to hear my high voltage battery I don't anymore. At what temperature does the cooling fan come on?

Thx 🙏

thanks, i may do this someday

Very helpful info on the Prius. Thanks

nice vid thanks

Thank yuo

I recognize you wanted to show the most professional version of the repair…but you can vacuum that part by just pulling the plastic back on the passenger side back seat…it’s really a 30 second job. Either way…I don’t hate seeing how everything comes apart…but I imagine some will be intimidated bu that repair by all the unscrewing…when in reality, pulling a plastic piece back and using a vacuum worked for me.

It may be helpful if you put on the description what type of Prius you're working on thank you for the trouble you went through anyhow

I have no idea why this service is not in the maintenance schedule. The filter in my 120K mile 2014 Prius looked just like the one in this video - a couple of spots of the screen showing. I was able to clean it from the front by loosening the dog hair with a wooden stick (the butt end of a wooden skewer) and holding a shop vac nozzle against the grill to scavenge the hair. It took about 5 minutes after I got things set up.

Note: I was in a rush looking for a different video, so sorry if he already said this: If you only need to maintain the filter, just lift the plastic trim that hides the filter (careful: don't break the clip), or you can even get this outside fitting filter (G92DH-47010) to prevent having to reach in the awkward position.

Most of the time you dont have to remove the fan , just clean the screen or filter .

Awesome, thanks. can the language be changed on a 2002 Prius?

Looks EZ gonna try it tomorrow

What tools are needed and what are the links to buy the replacement fan?

Now I can't get the filter housing back in place!

Interesting

I'd probably remove the hybrid battery safety plug before working around there, just in case.

One question I have is I live in Arizona it's hot is it bettery to Run the A/c unit to keep my Battery's cool or have the windows down to get better milage

So I actually don’t have a filter in the beginning but the seat, I cleaned it all out but I’m concerned as I’ve had this for 4 years and have a dog. I didn’t see any dog hair in it. Could it have blown through the whole tube to the battery?

Is there a connection to the engine heat engine That lights up after a long faction?

Clear as mud.

Hi , my Prius gen3 poped an error check hybrid system, I tried checking if the fan works by putting a paper on the inlet ( my Prius had no filter behind it) I felt no suction and do not hear the fan spin ) is the fan suppose to be always working when the car is started ? Even if one of the hv battery modules is faulty ? I'm asking to understand if I have found the problem which is that the fan no working so the battery down for safety.

thank you for sharing. What Prius model are you working on?

looks like that guy was making marshmallow with dog hair over there.

Hi I have a 2007 Toyota Prius and and three lights came on it the triangle with the exclamation point the check engine light and on the screen there's a little car with the exclamation point on it so when I go out in the to do the check system it says check audio I don't know what to do I know the AC is not blowing out cool anymore either because of that

So what if it was disgusting and you took it apart and cleaned it and unplug the aux battery and it still reads that error code? Does that mean the fan is broke?

There is another video on youtube that shows a simpler way of doing this......look around it will save you time and heartbreak......no need to go through the back.....pull up and out from the top of the filter screen panel.....remove and clean from the rear seat area.

Lol I literally watched this video and checked my 3rd gen 2010 and I dont have either layer of filter 😅 dam now wonder why im getting 30mpg

Wow... I think that could have been the first time he's done that...

how to fish out my air flow hose that goes to my aux battery in the trunk, thank you?

is this the same on a 2009 prius?

Great video! How often would you recommend cleaning this for someone without pets?

For a simple small tool you almost brook the whole car!

Does this works for a priusV 2015?

The fan work, what do you think if I just clean filter on back sit inside ?

All that trouble to clean that filter. I reach it, clean it, and put it back in 2 minutes through the back seat.

l would break every snap off part, lose half the the bolts, forget how things went back together, and bloody up my knuckles to boot. l do admire people with mechanical skills though, and knock on wood, my beat up 2011 Prius still runs rather well.

I see in the American model, the air exhaust of the battery is directly to the reserve wheel.. in EU Model it's going outside of the car.. can someone agree? It is known the strange smell is in EU cars coming from the battery, is it the case for the us too?

Thanks for your information. Do you think that by cleaning the fan would clear code P0A80 on my 2010 Prius?

There are 4 GENERATIONS of PRIUS.....Which GENERATION does this video refer to? Please add it to the title of the video.

I just bought a used Prius. Should I wait for the fault.. or take the proactive approach? I used Torque check pro and My battery voltage is fluctuating between 14 to 16.5 - I think at 13 the gas engine turns on to charge it back up.

Anybody experience not having a filter there at all?

Do you think we have to remove back seats as well?

I’m grateful for the tips but you tossing those $100+ plastic pieces is pissing me off Lmao! I literally replaced those plastic pieces from my last car accident and I’m surprised how expensive they can be from your local Toyota dealership 😅

Did it make noise and engine lights were on?

lol, to reach that filter you simply lift up on the panel next to the passenger side door. You don't have to remove anything that you removed.

Is this like this on prius c 2012 also

I BOUGHT HONDA FIT HYBRID 2013 GP5 HE IS NOT GOING ON EV MODE PLS CAN U TELL ME REASONS

very good your video for me is a little difficult since I am a woman can you do it for me. how much you charge?

my hyundai sonata hybrid is simular

Forgot the screen

What year is that Prius? And what years does that work with

What year prius was it ?

Hey guys need help! I have a 2011 with 230k miles and the check hybrid system light came on about a week ago. I reset the light by unplugging the orange pin from the hybrid battery and main and the white wire from the fuse box (I think that’s the main power?) left it that way for 10 minutes and put it all back and worked fine for about 500 miles. Then it came back again and did the same thing but this time only went 10-15 miles before message came back on and after a few more times I didn’t unplug the 2 things and drove with it and every 10-15 miles or so, the message would turn on and off. Once the message appears, The car will only use the hybrid battery to move the car and won’t turn the engine on but I figured out when it happens, I turn off the car, leave it off for about 30 seconds and after I turn the car on and press the power mode, I can use the engine power to drive but the message, CEL and occasionally the temp gauge light will flash. It happens every time I start to drive around about 10-15 miles. So yesterday, I took out the blowing fan motor from the hv and thoroughly cleaned it which was pretty clogged (never cleaned before) thinking the battery wasn’t getting the air causing the problem, and it drove about 25 miles then the problem persisted. I thought it might be a broken fan but I hear and see the fan running so that’s not it. Any ideas about what it can be? Can it be that the fan isn’t working properly? Could it also be the 12v battery not providing enough power? It’s never been changed since I bought it new and noticed a few things failing like the power mirrors, windshield wipers not working on the first 2 settings but works for the fastest and the headlights seem to be dimmer. Also, at times when I start the car whether it’s a cold start or in and out, the whirring at the beginning is louder and the HUD lights take awhile to fully display... any advice would be appreciated as I do deliveries for work and need my car working but don’t have the money to buy a new car or a new hybrid battery for that matter.. 😞 I will try to get a code for when the CEL and message come back on again and post. Thanks in advance guys.

Oof

Was that the customer crying

Lol this is Alot of chances to make a Mistake here

Hahahahaha this was so funny I thought he will pull The Whole car apart to get to the filter in front of passenger seat! 😂

dude you look like L Suárez 😅

Just left the Toyota dealer and they brutally raped me and charged me $535 to do this.

This guy doesnt know what hes doing !!

The Hell with buying Hybrid and going through All That Shit that he says!!!!

Good tutorial, but worst presentation. If i had to go to a mechanic, i never come to you. You almost broke some parts. You use brute force, instead of brain in some cases.

Hey guy. I have a 09 Toyota Prius I try to replace the ABS module and why ABS was making noise the unit's ABS noise was when I walked up to the car and can hear the pump running. Oh, sometimes I have brakes it's hard to stop the car & No emergency park brakes. So I find an ABS module on E-bay used ABS MODULE it has a hairline crack on the bottom that calls for a computer. So I put the old ABS module back in the car. How can I check the brake lines connect to ABS module look for links without taking the fucking car apart again. Oh I do like your video on RU-vid & keep up the good work & put more video on here too I'm calling from Houston TX
