This was excellent, however I was told to vacuum the dirt/debri only and not use a blower to prevent dust from getting blown deeper inside the areas you want to keep clean. Thank you for saving me a fortune
Sounds logical.
Can't believe how much the dealership charges you for this .. it is easier than changing your oil.
Dealer wanted 652 dollars
I was told for $180 they take it out and clean it, but I find that very hard to believe they do anything more than what was shown here. They charge $50 labor to change the cabin air filter which takes 5 minutes. I would like to see a video that shows removing the whole fan so you can clean behind it. I would never blow air into the fan cage... at least not until I see what is on the other side of it.
1. Use a vacuum, don´´t use pressuriced air.
2. When using a vacuum hold the fan still, otherwise if he fan spins it enduces electricity and damages it.
3. Use something like a Q-tip, paint brush, soft cloth etc. with the vacuum cleaner.
Love the way you showed us how to clean the fan blades with a small vacuum and brush to prevent pushing dust into the inverter vents. I cleaned my fan filter today and the blades were only slightly dusty, but I didn’t know what to do if they were dirty. Toyota wants several hundred dollars for this minor maintenance!
Do not use the duster, use a vacuum only or a microfibre towel. This is the same procedure on Lexus UX 200 and UX 250H models just an FYI.
Thanks Arik for sharing a very simple but useful video
Yes. I hear this very important maintenance.
Thanks
Looks easy. Thanks, dude!
Perfect and proper way to show everything. Thank you
You saved the day my Brother... none of the other YT channels, showed the vent where this one was (like mine)👍😊🙏
Thank you!
Please don't forget to like, share and subscribe 😀
Vacuum! Don't blow it into the filter!
The manual even says always vacuum and not to blow dust deeper into the fan area.
vac and use brush should work well...
Great video!
A great straightforward video. Thank you.
Straightforward, but goes against Toyota's recommendations.
NEVER use compressed air on the fan assembly!!! You risk damaging the fan and dust getting into the battery assembly itself!
1:42 I don't know about the car you used for the demonstration, but the manual for my Yaris *specifically* warns against using compressed air on the fan.
probably to avoid dust being blown into the battery assembly.
My thoughts, exactly, Henrik ! The first thot, came to mind, was a vacuum. i would even use, the hose, and poke it in there, as far as it would go.
Thank you thank you for doing this video
nice work
Great video man, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Good job nice video thanks 👌
More good basic info on keeping my Prius Prime going
Thanks, I gave you a thumbs up
Thanks for letting me know 😊😊😊
Thank you very much for this useful video!
1. Don´t use pressurized air, use a brush and a vacuum cleaner instead. Make sure the fan does NOT spin or you can potentially damage it.
2. Don´t take off the filter or clean it INSIDE your car, take it out and replace it outside, the whole point of this filer is to not let that dust come inside the battery.
3. Replace the filter don´t just clean it off as well. It´s cheap.
Notice, those first generation Toyota Hybrides ( pre 2013 ) have often no real filter that you can clean, but vacuum cleaning can be done also.
You mean, pre 2010, or pre third gen…
@@JohnCap523 - My 2012 Prius plug-in has the intake in a different position, along the right side of the rear seats, right next to the door frame. According to other videos I've watched, there is no factory filter. But there is an aftermarket filter that clips right over the vent.
HEAT, IS THE MAJOR CAUSE, of faulty ' modern ' auto electronics/computers. KEEP THAT XPENSIVE, BATTERY COOL !!!
Thank you so much but I have a question to ask you when the battery gets bud doesn’t make any noise
great!
Thanks for adding more dust to the inside of vehicle.
You're welcome darling
@@arik_yeo 😂
Thank For What video
Thanks😁🇺🇸
Thanks and how to clean Toyota Noah 2014 hybrid fan & jilter
I’ve done it yesterday 🤣👍
Thanks for sharing! I will do mine I’m sure the dealership hasn’t done ours.
Yeah, it's overlooked almost everywhere. Usually they just wait until the system breaks down before doing an overhaul.
its part of the service
fucking dealers charge me once £80.then help from YT cast me £4.99 and job done ...thanks guys
Thanks for sharing your video very nice advice i have to learn alot to take care of the hybrid car because i just bought 2022 toyota venza hybrid limited in Asia call harrier in North America call venza thanks very much and take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Why dust off the filter while it’s still in the car?
Hi I think they screw on my car is stripped, keeps turning but doesn't pop out. Can you advise if I can just pry it open by force? I tried to see the thread area but it is blue there. Thank you.
How do I clear the notification that pops up
How often on average , do u do that....annually ?
What else do u do to car...I just got one....
Oops, I see u said 1/yr.
Filter maintenance appears to be the reason why people recommend that you not buy a used hybrid - as a second owner, you have no clue whether the first owner maintained the battery properly to ensure its long life.
It's best to assume the worst when buying a 2nd hand car.
Current Toyota hybrids are hardy though, usually if the car's hybrid system starts to underperform it's because the internal battery contacts are not clean + the cells are unbalanced + HV fan dirty. Thankfully, the actual cells can last a long time.
i would use a vac and brush /compressed air in the fan area...then replace with clean filter once every 10k miles... keeping battery cool as possible adds most life to it...
Hello, after cleaning and changing the filter of my 2016 Prius hybrid, I started to hear the fan spinning when the battery is charged. Before, I never heard it turn. Is this normal or should I be worried??
Dear Brother,
I have a Prius PHV for my personal use. Could you give a electrical drawing and manual for Prius PHV Model 2015 , ZVW35? then i shall be very grateful to you dear. Best wishes for you bright future ahead.
Best Regards
Shamim
What is the filter part number for a 2017 Prius 4?
How often do you have to do this??
Thank you dear
how do you know when you need to replace?
What’s the parts number?
It’s not on amazon
How can I change the fan?
same to my car problem
Hi dear
My car problem temperature up the 38 ac not working
What temperature should battery be
On my car, that access cover screw just turns, it won't seem to come out. Is there a trick to it? Thanks for the video.
Yes there is actually. Use a thin flathead screwdriver and gently pry the screw towards you while unscrewing that screw. Sometimes the threads don't grip properly and this will help.
@@arik_yeo Thank you, I eventually got it off.
Chief , Is it safe using a Toyota Corolla fielder RHD converted to LHD , buying a used car imported in Kenya from Japan , took a test ride and no alignment faults found Maneuvering was smooth.The push button start is not there only manual key year 2013 model. Pls advice
Same procedure in the ‘13 ????
Is for toyota prius or corolla.
Where do you get the Filter from? Great Vid!!
I bought it from a nearby auto parts store for approx US$10.
It's a simple piece of filter that's used in most of the current gen Toyota hybrids, so I would imagine it should readily be available in most major auto parts stores.
@@arik_yeo Do you think the Hybrid batteries on the 2021 Prius are better than the Prius hybrid battery from 10 to 15 years ago.
@@arik_yeo Can you just clean the original filter and use it again
where can i buy the screw
How often or how many kms should I be cleaning or replacing the filters please.
Depends on your usage and whether your driving environment is dirty (eg ferrying pets or you always wind down your windows). I would open and check every 2 oil changes.
Hi is this the same filter position as the Corolla sports touring 2020 uk car
Yes, it should be the same. Do double check your owner's (or service) manual for details.
Have you thought about improving cooling to the hybrid battery pack in our hot tropical weather? Perhaps something like a liquid cooling like in some PC cooling systems. Heat kills the hybrid battery lifespan and performance imho.
Yes I have actually. It has been a project that has lingered within my mind for a while. Was thinking of having a cooling fan to pull air and heat out of the hybrid battery. (Currently there is only a fan pushing air into the system, which was the one I cleaned).
However, I haven't found the time to poke around / analyse how the cooling system works.
I did notice the heat from the hybrid batteries radiates into the rear seat quite a bit though.
@@arik_yeo
I know of someone who's using a custom liquid cooling for his Lexus IS300h. He's on Club Lexus Sg Facebook.
Do you have a link of the mod?

I would think that since these air vent intake for the battery are in the passenger compartment, running the A/C is beneficial.
Where can I buy the filter? Thanks
Any spare parts dealer can provide you this filter , if you tell them the VIN nr. of your car. Price is around 10-12 US Dollars in my coiuntry . i don't know the price abroad , but you can check with spare parts sellers from your country.Good luck.
Will this also work for a 2012 camry hybrid xle? I just got the car recently
Sure, this should work for all Toyota hybrids
I have a 2017 prius. I couldnmt find the hybrid battery filter on amazon.
Can you send me a link?
It may not be available on Amazon, try your local auto parts store.
Ha, My Toyota no longer gives out part numbers. As if that would stop me! Still, I would probably buy this one from Toyota because it is so specialized and it is only $24.24 and always in stock. Some things you have to buy local...
How often do you do this cleaning?
I usually do this every 3-6 months as I drive around 8000 miles every month.
Complete fan assembly can be removed and properly cleaned in my car..
Got a link to a video for that?
What's model it
How often should one do this? I have a 2018 Toyota Prius Hybrid
Recommended to do this once a year or every few ten thousand kilometres, whichever is earlier
Thank you!
Can we use old filter again after clear ?
The filters are designed for single use only. Not recommended to reuse
screw seems loose but it won't complain come off keeps. revolving with screw driver.
anyone know if the older prius ..like a 2006 -2010 has this same filter setup??? thanks
Should be similar for most models
Why would you blow it off inside your car?!?!
Sound like Chi ?
This is a Toyota Auris ?
It's a Toyota C-HR hybrid. Afaik it's only available in EU and Asia markets.
The filter looks like made up of soft plastic, can it be washed and reused instead of getting a new one???
The paper feels like it's a cloth or paper based material though. I don't recommend doing so
Has anybody just vacuumed out the area and re-used the filter?
I do that regularly. However, I do change the filter every few instances
What’s the name of this filter
It's a Hybrid Battery Filter
What type of hybrid is this car? A Prius?
It's a C-HR hybrid. Not really available in some markets (eg US). Really popular in Singapore
Is this Toyota auris ?
Toyota Anus.
DO NOT BLOW AIR INTO BATTERY COMPARTMENT!!
I just replace it not vacuum
But prius its too difficult to remove the filter ...
Really? Which gen Prius are you doing this on?
My screw won't come out 😔
I had the same problem, try to pry without too much force on the back of the big plastic plug with your one hand as as you unscrew the screw with other hand, that should work.
For me it worked.
Good luck.
@@rabraham6725 thanks ..my husband ended up popping it out
@@rabraham6725 thank you so much!!
WTF you just blew more dust in the back seat, should of clean that vent outside the car 🤣🤣🤣 Hello Mcfly
🤣🤣🤣
No offence but I had a bit of a hard time understanding your thickly accented English. But great video on the matter of replacing the battery filter.
So,wrap your brains around this. The Toyota maintenance schedule recommends this service only if you vehicle is used in special operation. Such as taxi, police or door to door delivery in other words sustained low speed driving. Don’t believe me look it up in the maintenance schedule/log book.
Every time you take your vehicle in for service they try to sell you as much maintenance as they can. Whether they lie to you or not. Things like brake fluid flushing, engine induction system cleaning, transmission/power splitting device fluid changing etc.
If it’s not on the Toyota maintenance schedule they’re just wanting to flush your wallet.
Dude why are your nails so long
