I've done the clean recently, just personal opinion I think you are removing too much trim unnecessarily, I only removed the 3 plastic clips on the side carpet, pulled it back and managed to get both the fan and filter out to clean

This morning started the warning with consult a dealer bla bla, and after 1 hour of this video and battery unplugged, the warning disappeared, and I think that it added some more range km (I don't know if this is because it got the fuel consumption to 0, because of the battery, or because I cleaned the fan and filter). Thank you!

To check battery health.... take car to dealer.... buy new car and turn in old car for pennies on the dollar. That is what dealer really want, right?

Thank you! However, it is much more important to clean the net on the back seat! These are located on the side of the door, make sure that they are not covered!

My IS300h is just over 7 yrs old , with 30,000 on the clock. I've no idea if the fan has ever been cleaned. Yours didn't look that dirty. I get mine serviced by Lexus, doesn't this come in with a service ? Next time I take it in I shall ask.

After looking at the videos on cleaning these elements on Toyota hrbrids I can only say how disappointed I am that Toyota chose to design the hybrid cooling components where they are so relatively inaccessible. I am sure Toyota is not alone in this flaw but really, this is a failure on Toyota’s design team for such a critical element of the hybrid system. It should be bo more difficult than checking or changing the gas engine air cleaner.

@Battery-Powered

I agree! Although you don’t have to do it very often at all, it will be nice if it was easier to access it.

You didn't do the job properly and you are showing it in a wrong way. When you removed the fan you need also to remove the long black pipe which runs into the fan from vehicle cabin. At the beginning of the pipe there is a special net which needs to be hoover/vacuum. And this is much more important than to clean the fan on its own. You should do it every 60000mls.
