• Q: How to replace the NO.2 RADIATOR ASSEMBLY on 2005 Toyota Prius?

  A: The replacement of the NO.2 RADIATOR ASSEMBLY (1NZ-FXE) requires fan assembly with motor disconnect as a first step. Begin radiator assembly No.2 replacement by removing upper radiator support bolts from the right-hand side along with upper RH bolts, lower RH bolts, and lower LH bolts from the support and extracting the assembly from the vehicle. Install and torque the radiator fan temperature switch with 7.0 Nm (71 kgf-cm, 62 inch lbs.) using Special Service Tool: 09817-33190. You should return the NO.2 RADIATOR ASSEMBLY to the vehicle while securing the 3 bolts of the radiator support lower LH with a torque of 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 inch lbs.) for bolt A and 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 inch lbs.) for bolt B. The same torque application should be used for the radiator support lower RH, upper LH, and upper RH bolts. Add the fan assembly including its motor back into its original position.
