• Q: How to service and repair the Radiator Cooling Fan Motor on 2001 Toyota Echo?

  A: Service and repair operations on the Radiator Cooling Fan Motor start with draining engine coolant before disconnecting the upper radiator hose from the radiator. You should disconnect the Cooling Fan Connector and Reservoir Hose before removing the Upper Radiator Support and Cooling Fan by extracting the 3 bolts that secure the Cooling Fan. Disassembly begins with unfastening the fan and fan motor nut followed by motor removal by unscrewing its 3 mounting screws. The reassembly process requires you to mount the fan motor using the three screws according to torque specifications of 2.65 Nm (27 kgf-cm, 23 inch lbs.) with A/C and 3.98 Nm (41 kgf-cm, 35 inch lbs.) without A/C. Mount the fan to its position using the nut followed by torquing it to 6.4 Nm strength (66 kgf-cm at 57 inch lbs.). The installation of the cooling fan requires use of 3 bolts which should be torqued to 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 inch lbs.) before reconnecting the cooling fan connector. Last steps include connecting the upper radiator hose to the radiator followed by installation of the radiator upper support and filling the system with engine coolant before engine start and leak inspection.
