How To replace Hybrid Battery Fan Filter and Fan : 2007-2011 Camry hybrid

[@TheCarCareNut]

Just to clarify this does apply to 2007-2011 Camry hybrid models. The filter part no is G92DH-33010

[@iloat]

@The Car Care Nut Thanks for the great videos and perfect explanations. I tried to find with no success the similar videos about Avalon Hybrid 13-18. Do you have it somewhere? I mean hybrid battery filter and fan cleaning in Toyota Avalon 13-18. Thanks in advance.

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have one for the Avalon yet. Looking for a car in the Chicago area to film with

Thanks for your answer and a great work. Very appreciated for your help. Good luck! Stay safe and healthy!

I guess not 2012 to 2016. Looks like a pain in the butt.

[@jeffreyjones6239]

Not to disagree with the Car Care Nut, I definitely have high regard for his expertise and experience... but I just found I could remove/replace the fan assembly after only: -removing the seat bottom, -folding down the seatbacks, -removing the plastic carpet/upholstery behind the seats -removing the plastic/upholstery covering the fan in the trunk, -undoing the bolts/clip holding the fan assembly, + the cable -wiggling the assembly a bit installation is the reverse of removal. Saved me a whackload of time and trouble! But again, I have every regard for our friend! Great video and great advice. Keep it coming!

[@toriless]

removing the seat bottom was the FIRST step, watch again.

[@gregnixon1296]

Your videos about hybrid maintenance have led me back to just getting a regular Camry and driving it for 20 years.

[@oi32df]

really too many panels to remove for this ''simple'' maintenance

[@MattPark-vp2ud]

agree. it's not simple. been a headache since I just boght my camry hybrid with 300,000 miles. @@oi32df

[@ianb8810]

@@oi32df, that's why any subsequent models are much easier. Toyota learned from this mistake. With my 2014 model, you just look in the vent on the side of the seat and you can see if it needs cleaning. Even if it does, it's a 20 minute job. My wife's 2011 model, yeah, that took a while.

[@willgreenjr1]

Mannnn………..I never knew our Camry hybrid had a filter until I heard you talk about it in one of your videos,”Should you buy a used hybrid, things to look for/ keep maintained”. Just called my wife to tell her don’t drive that vehicle another darn mile until I check that fan. A lot of dealers don’t even include this in normal maintenance checks. Thank you so much for the heads up. And may The Lord Bless and keep you as well my brother.

[@rogerhirsh3124]

Thanks! Job complete on my 2009 Camry Hybrid. Video was a big help, showing what steps to take, in order. Turned out the fan was pretty clean, but reassuring to know it's done. Filter is on order. Only hint was to make sure the plastic lip on the side cushions is positioned properly when reinstalling, to the outside of the main cushion.

[@vicjilly]

This is right on time Brother! I have a 2011 Camry Hybrid being delivered on Sunday and I will have a maintenance inspection on Monday. I will ensure that they check the high voltage fan and if I decide to keep the vehicle I will buy a filter for the vent. Thank you for always giving good info. May the Lord bless you and Keep, and may He shine His face upon you.

[@JeffEhorn]

Thanks for the video! You have great knowledge, instruction style, and presentation. Did this today on my 08 (111k miles) and the fan was pretty clean. I cleaned the fan with compressed air and actually took a q-tip and cleaned each fin. Figured since I spent time removing it might as well spend 10 mins making it like new again.

[@jesusquezada7996]

I have a 2007 Toyota Camry hybrid and had to buy a new hybrid battery at only 105000 miles, It cost me $4000. I wish this video was out about 10 years ago. It took me and my two 13 year old twins about 2 hours to complete the process. Thank you for your videos we had a great time cleaning the fan and installing the filter. Please keep making this videos. Thank you again.

[@toriless]

If you look around you can find a new one for closer to three grand but you still probably have several grand to install it.

[@AlanColes-h6y]

Very useful for replacing trunk torsion spring. My mechanic was reluctant to do the job due to the battery vent being in the way. Dealers would charge around $700. I followed the steps to remove the vent and installed the new torsion spring. Also checked the fan and it was clean. Took about 2 hours. Excellent instructions. Thanks so much.

[@TomSullivan-c9r]

Thanks much for the video. Another excellent video with step-by-step instructions. I just worked through this procedure on my 2009 Camry Hybrid with 231K miles. The fan was actually in good shape, but I used a small brush on each fan blade and compressed air to blow out the dust. Outside of standard maintenance, which is expected, I have had absolutely no problems with this Camry Hybrid. Even with the high mileage, I am still getting 37+ MPG. Thanks again. TS

[@hybrid711]

Tip I used when cleaning my hybrid battery cooling fan. The can of compressed air was not strong enough to clean it alone. I used Q-tips 30-40, one for each plastic fan blade & a wooden skewer to get in the seams. Then use the can of air to clean up. This takes longer but the fan will be very clean.

[@toriless]

Same for cleaning a bathroom fan.

I owned a used 09 Camry Hybrid in 2012 and it never occurred to me to check the the fan... I traded in 14 Camry hybrid and then a 13 Avalon hybrid.... there was a lot less work checking the fan in the Avalon compared to the 09 Camry... I would be concerned about rattles after reinstalling all those parts.... you put out some excellent videos on hybrids!

This is going to help a whole lot of Gen 1 TCH owners. I expect at least a few hundred thousand of them in the wild. If this video helps them keep the vehicle on the road for another 50,000 miles, that is equivalent to several tons of CO2 saved. Great job, AMD!

Thank you Ravi. Per your request I didn’t say anything in the video but part of this credit goes to you for volunteering your time and your car to make this possible. So thank you so much!

[@andyconnolly6205]

I just did this today and it only took me 15 minutes (including cleaning the fan with a vacuum and small paint brush). I only removed the cover in the trunk and the cover behind the back seats. Took the three bolts, plastic pin, unplugged it and it slid right out (pull from inside toward the front of the car). No need to remove seat, sides, luggage tray, etc. Way really quick and easy. And it slid right back in.

Thanks, great video. This procedure worked just fine for my Australian model, too. My fan was very clean, even with 195,000km on the clock. My Toyota dealer doesn't have the clip on filter G92DH-33010 in their computer, so I guess Toyota Australia is being up to their usual standard. I've ordered one from the USA on ebay - expensive, but I'd rather have it than not. The vent looks the same, so hopefully it will be ok.

[@iracohen3864]

Great video...Toyoto sure makes this process a royal pain...so many small things to disassemble, Ford was smart enough to make it far far easier....tho Ford didn't add a filter for some reason, But always enjoy watching you work.

[@chrisso1348]

Thanks for this! Just ordered this from a Canadian dealership, special order and list price $13.46 CAD. For our 2011. More a wire mesh filter (think patio door/window screen) than an actual particle filter. More for preventing bugs and random objects going into the intake vent then filtering dust from going in. Worth it for peace of mind, anyway.

[@danbui3411]

hybridautomotive.com/install-hh1pnp/ would be the tough way; don't know what the harness is for, but included is cleaning the battfan. If there's any way to get a vacuum tube (caveat below) into the air intakes, say by removing the vent covers, assuming there's no rigamarole in doing this, that's be much easier, as I'm thinkin' anything caught in the system will be on the inflow side, as the rest will have gone out the exhaust. Caveat--I've heard vacuums generate huge static electricity, so I'd do a whole lot of searching to see whether that can be done safely and how. Edit: Yo! _Three_ battfans, one per intake! www.dustlesstools.com/blog/how-to-fix-static-shock-on-your-vacuum-hose/ Oh, I'm still afraid this would be crazy risky. Look how well not following manufacturer procedures worked out for American Airlines Flight 191. It'd be nice to have a minicam installed alongside the copper wire, though. I'd imagine trying it hands-off on a few expendable low-voltage devices and then on high-voltage ones before tackling the traction battery fan would be prudent, too. It also crossed my mind that, in a SW summer, placing Blue Ice packs in front of the intakes would help, but condensation issues might well be contra-indicative.

I cannot find a way to defeat the locked trunk. I went over the owner's manual on the smart key thinking I somehow disabled the trunk. There is nothing I can find that would disable the trunk latch. The problem is the back seat release is in the trunk. Is there a good way to defeat the trunk latch? I am trying to devise a way to pull the safety lever on latch. I have removed the bottom of the back seat. I can maneuver the upper seat to see the latch but cannot move reach it. BTW I have tried all the normal ways open the trunk. I am quite familiar with Camry Smart Key System and the Valet lockout, as I have owned a 2007 XLE for 8 years. Update. I managed to release the seats through the speaker cutouts. From there I was able to use extensions on normal tools to take out the latch. Somehow a stud from the air dam had fallen in the mechanism and locked it up. I followed the instructions from this video and cleaned the fan while there.

I have a 2013 Avalon hybrid. Is the process similar?

Hi! It’s similar but not exactly the same. I am actively looking for an Avalon hybrid in the Chicago area to film a similar video with. Once I find one I’ll post it

I have a 2021 Avalon hybrid. Where is the filter for this model?

[@TheCarCareNut]

Hi! Here’s a video specific to your car kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnjTk4Wanq5pa6M

being a former electrical engineer.. it could’ve been designed to be easier to clean.. that’s 4 hours work for a layman.. but the dealer needs to make money..

[@TheCarCareNut]

I hear you. In the beginning years of hybrid models some of them weren’t designed to have a serviceable filter but newer ones are easier because they are designed with that in mind

Is this applicable for 2021?

I recently started losing gas mileage. I usually average 28-29 mpg but now am averaging 22-23 mpg. I thought since I'm using my ac Maybe that's the reason but I drove with no ac and still got lower mpg at 25-26 mpg so still mysteriously losing gas mileage. Car now has 130k miles and fan was never cleaned and filter never replaced. Could this be the issue?
