• Q: How to service and repair the blower motor on 2001 Toyota Highlander?

  A: Begin the blower motor service procedure by removing the glove compartment door assembly first and then do air duct No.1 service by unscrewing it and disconnecting its 3 claw fittings followed by completing air duct No.2 service. You must begin by taking off the ECM through removal of its two nuts and connector disconnection. Start the blower assembly removal process by disconnecting the cooling unit motor W/fan sub-assembly connector and clamp and recirculation damper servo connector and by removing 2 screws with a bracket and filter cover and bolt and nut and 2 additional screws to finish disconnecting the part fit to the air conditioner radiator assembly and removing the blower assembly. You must remove the recirculation damper servo sub-assembly after taking away its 3 screws. Remove the cooling unit motor sub-assembly W/fan by unscrewing its three screws. Place the blower assembly into the correct position on the air conditioner radiator assembly before installation using the bolt and nut and 2 screws and following a 9.8 N.m torque requirement (100 kgf.cm, 87 in.lbf). After placing the filter cover begin by adding the bracket along with two screws and reconnect the connector before finally clamping it in place. The ECM should receive its installation with 2 nuts secured using a torque force of 5.5 N.m (56 kgf.cm, 49 in.lbf).
