• Q: How to service and repair the Radiator Cooling Fan Motor on 2000 Toyota RAV4?

  A: You should start radiating cooling fan motor service or repair operations by dismantling the No.1 fan assembly while also removing the engine under cover and draining coolant from all systems along with condenser removal if AC is present and continuing towards radiator removal. Divide the service process by removing wires and connectors for the No.1 cooling fan, No.2 cooling fan (if present), ECT switch for electric cooling fan operation, and the engine wire clamp from the No.1 cooling fan shroud. touch the steps to disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses along with the radiator reservoir hose while taking out the two A/T oil cooler hoses. Begin by removing the two bolts, the upper radiator supports and then proceed to remove the radiator assembly together with the two lower radiator supports. The process ends with removal of the four bolts which maintain the No. 1 cooling fan to the radiator. The removal process for the No. 2 cooling fan starts with removing the RH engine under cover together with a cooler condenser if present alongside upper radiator supports before disconnecting cooling fan connectors while pushing the radiator toward the front bumper to remove three bolts which allow you to lift the No. 2 cooling fan upward. The No. 1 cooling fan disassembly requires users to separate its components starting with the nut removal and fan detachment then disconnecting the fan shroud wires and connectors while taking out the three screws and fan motor. The replacement of the No. 2 cooling fan requires removal of the three screws and fan followed by disconnection of the wire and connector from the fan shroud followed by three screws and fan motor removal steps. Installing the No. 1 cooling fan motor requires three screws then reconnecting its wire and connector to the fan shroud while tightening the fan nut. The installation of the No. 2 cooling fan includes attaching the fan motor by three screws, reconnecting the wire and connector to the fan shroud and fastening the motor cover with two screws before securing the fan with three screws. Begin installation by using four bolts at 5.0 Nm torque to fix the No.1 cooling fan followed by setting the radiator assembly with two bottom supports then radiator and two upper supports using two bolts of 13 Nm torque. Next install the cooler condenser after reconnecting all hoses and connectors for the No.1 cooling fan and No.2 cooling fan (when present) and ECT switch and engine wire clamp to the No.1 cooling fan shroud and perform the procedure for installing engine coolant then placing back all engine under covers. The installation process includes pushing the No. 2 cooling fan toward the radiator, lifting it upward, securing it with three bolts at 5.0 Nm (50 kgf-cm, 43 inch lbs.) before pushing the radiator toward the front bumper and attaching the cooling fan connector. Finally, install the upper radiator supports with 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) torque and the optional cooler condenser.
