How To replace Hybrid Battery Fan Filter : 2010-2015 Prius

A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician shows you how to replace the Hybrid Battery Fan Filter which will Prolong the life of your hybrid battery.
I say this in every hybrid video I make. This is the most important maintenance item on your Toyota Hybrid. Keep this filter clean and clear and you should have no issues making your Toyota Hybrid battery last a very long time.
2 Possible filter part numbers for this model Prius. Around late 2012-2015 Toyota installed a filter from the Factory. The part no. for that filter is G92DH-47060 I don't recommend this filter as it's hard to install and clean. I recommend you remove it and install G92DH-47010 which is the other filter that fits all models from 2010-2015
This video applies to 3rd Generation Prius 2010 2011 2013 2014 2015

Just 3 days ago, I came across your video about changing oil every 5k and not the 10k. So I subscribed to your channel. Then I found this video and ordered a filter and couldn't believe, how dirty the original filter was. A simple $25 filter just saved me thousands. Thank you for this video!

[@robertmontgomery7158]

Your hybrid filter tip worked perfectly for removal. I did not know this filter existed!

Nice to see other believers on KZbin , keep these videos coming as I’m learning much from all ur experience..🙏✅

[@ampersandexplainer]

Thank you, saw other guides that had you take apart the whole back part of the car to get to this, bought the snap on filter and was easily done in less then 5 min, thanks so much

[@scotto6120]

Thanks for the tech tip about the filter swap! Did it the other day with a slight effort. The side sit piece needed a good yank up to remove and replace the hooked latch. Kind of pulled out the filter with a small screwdriver and hooked pick. Was simple enough to do!

Hi AMD, I'm OB from Mauritius. I must say you are the best in explaining under the bonnet issue. I've a Toyota Axio Hybrid 2016 model as per seat belt info tag. I'm a mechanic and it helped me to understand the technology. Respect to you. CHEERS. . .

[@noaha2394]

I can’t believe no Toyota dealership ever recommended me to get this clip on filter for my 2012 Prius ... I just went yesterday to order that part and it was only $17. Now I need to focus on getting that fan cleaned since it’s probably very clogged up. Thank you so much! Your videos are a major help and has saved me lots of $$$.

I like the way you construct auto part's pictures And demos into your videos. This video Sometimes we do not have clear, well lit parts in car fix videos. You earned my subscription!

You are awesome car nut! Your quick video saved my bacon - my vent was very clogged with dust and dog hair. I'm a newby prius owner and want to do good O&M, and even my local toyota dealer failed to clean the vent on a recent inspection, even when asked to. WIthin 5 minutes of watching your video, my vent was cleaned. Thank you!

[@keithandacky]

Thanks for this information, my 2012 Prius didn't have a filter. Going to get one right away.

[@kenbowman2058]

Just upgraded the filter on my 2014 Prius. To remove to old one, it helps a lot to loosen the bottom trim bolt a few turns (not all the way out) before trying to lift. Easy to reach with a 12mm socket and extension. Thanks for all the good information.

[@charleshenry8526]

Thanks! You saved me lots of time. I was going to take the seat out. I just pulled the cover up and leaned it over as you suggested. I did not take the original filter out. The hose to my regular vacuum was to big to fit in. I rigid a narrow wand of about 1 inch X 1/2 inch X 10 inches long. As with all such projects, duct tape may come in handy. I vacuumed it clean and snapped the cover back. I can do this in less than 10 minutes in the future. I love all your videos.

[@gotaigo]

Thank you sir! Didn’t even know my 2011 Prius had a battery filter. I’ll have to check it out soon. Thanks again.

[@cloggingdad]

It doesnt, they started installing them in late 2012. Add the clip on one. It is a good idea to clean the ductwork and fan. It will add many, many miles to the life of the battery as I understand it.

[@SlowRiderDucati]

Great advice! I got lucky when my son knocked off the fan cover about 50k into my prius C s life. I cleaned the clogged filter and was careful not to block.

[@1973Hog]

Thank you. We have had our 2013 Prius from new and I was not aware of the battery filter. I have ordered your recommended filter as suggested. We currently have 78k miles on the car and hope to keep it for a long time to come. We have followed the Toyota maintenance schedules religiously and have had only minor issues.

[@russbarrows6689]

I, too, want to install the external filter but I'm unable to find a source. Please share the address of the vendor of the filters recommend by AMD.

[@uncleflip3903]

Thanks very much for this video! When driving home just now, I got a message saying the battery cooling performance was low. I pulled out this filter, to find it was quite thoroughly clogged. After changing it, the message has not cleared. I am going to take it for one or two more drives, to see if it eventually goes away on its own. I even tried using the method for clearing the maintenance messages, which had worked before when I got a message about the hybrid system (after the engine air filter compartment was not closed properly) , and it worked then.

[@heidirexin5141]

Thank you! I came here after watching a long video that involved taking the back seat out. So happy to avoid that.

[@johnpollard4998]

Having viewed your excellent video I ordered the external filter. My car is a 2013 Plug-in Prius ( UK Spec) the car is low mileage 30k miles. Removal of trim was dead easy following your instructions. Surprise, surprise there was no filter in position. The plenum duct was exceedingly clean, spotless, the rear seats have never been used ,I assume the fans must be relatively clean too. So easily replaced trim and snapped in new filter. The whole exercise took less than 5 minutes. - Many thanks for your videos. !

Hybrid battery filter on my 2014 Prius needs to be replaced. Dealership is too expensive. So I did search and found you! Thank you!!!! You got a new subscriber.

For 2015 Prius V reach under rear passenger side seat with a vacuum cleaner hose and vacuum any debris from screen. Your done. Don't let things accumulate under the seat that might block fan intake. I discovered this after following the directions from another video that instructed the screen be removed and cleaned. That was much more difficult than was necessary.

[@jeannettebracken9475]

Just bought the external one for my 2015 Prius, on line from a local Toyota dealer. they had a nice discount from recommended price that knocked it down from 14 to 10. Cheaper than I saw it for on eBay. Thanks for the info. I have no idea if mine has a filter but I guess I'll find out when I get around to checking out the fan. Car has 100k, but I nor previous owner had any pets. We'll see. Edit: No real surprise but the factor filter was filthy!

WOW!!!! What a labor saver! My wife is a dog lover, particularly German Shepherds. I didn't even know about the intake filter until I saw your earlier video, and (being okay with a short cut) I used a wooden skewer to pick the dog hair loose (of course there was a mat of dog hair!) and a shop vac at the grill to vacuum it out. I will order or buy a G92DH-47010 today and vacuum it when I clean the car - a 2014. Thanks a million! Unfortunately, we can only click on the thumb up once....

[@TheCarCareNut]

There is a bolt holding it down. That’s why you only pull it slightly out and not out all the way just enough to remove the filter. You can pull the seat bottom out then remove the bolt if you want to completely remove it

Great informative video! Any chance you can do a video on whether you recommend an oil catch can (OCC) for the 3rd generation Prius? My OCC catches ~3-4 tablespoon of oil/gasoline at every oil change interval of 5k miles. In fact my EGR cooler had a lot of carbon build up at 90k that had to be cleaned out. Curious to see what your take is on that mod.

[@TheCarCareNut]

I’m not very familiar with this mod. I’ll look into it and make a video for it in the future .

OMG, thank you so much!! I am embarrassed by how filthy my filter was!

[@donfrazer1686]

First, thank you for your excellent content! I am now a new subscriber having just purchased a used 2015 Prius 2, and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. I plan to check this filter very soon and will be getting the outside clip-on as you recommended. I also plan on visually inspecting the fan motor for cleanliness. My question is once I have gone to the trouble of getting to and possibly removing the fan, would it be wise to just replace the fan? Doesn't fan performance degrade over time? The car is now 7 years old with 90,000 miles. How reliable are the fans and would this be a smart thing to do or would I just be wasting money?

[@jhill4071]

[@roadboat9216]

Wow great video and Information. I love my 2011 Prius 130K miles. Man i wish that I knew this earlier. Should I access and clean the fan itself, just to be safe. Saw that on Chrises video. Glad that I discovered you. I will Subscribe!

Thank you for watching my video! I think it’s a good idea to clean the fan as well. You won’t need to clean it again after installing a filter as it will catch everything from that point on

Thanks for this. Greets from Canada. This video saved me can$ 159 the dealership wanted, likely for the old way you mentioned. Dealership also wanted can$79 to change two license plate bulbs. WTF ? Make all the light bulb jokes on that.

[@no-damn-alias]

I'd have both filters on. The second filter doesn't create a big resistance but filters more of the air coming in. The part that is collecting the air and which you removed in your video isn't air tight so it'll pull unfiltered air from the side. The second filter will prevent unfiltered air going in

[@indianaturkeyhunts4523]

Do you still think it's best to have both on ? Seems like the one inside does good job at filtering dust
