2007 Toyota Yaris Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and replace the Blower Motor for the sedan on 2007 Toyota Yaris?

  A: Before starting blower unit removal for the sedan you must disconnect the negative battery cable while waiting at least 90 seconds to avoid activating Air Bags. Evacuate refrigerant from the refrigeration system by draining the engine coolant and unplug all cables including suction tube sub-assembly, liquid tube sub-assembly, heater water outlet hose and heater water inlet hose. The installation procedure starts by removing the instrument panel finish panel lower center along with the end LH and end RH along with the instrument cluster finish panel and combination meter assembly followed by instrument cluster finish panel center sub-assembly and stereo opening cover (without radio receiver) and radio receiver assembly and air conditioning panel assembly. The service technician needs to disconnect the air mix damper control cable sub-assembly, the defroster damper control cable sub-assembly and the air inlet damper control cable sub-assembly. Separate the front door opening trim Weather Strip RH and LH, remove the front pillar garnish RH and LH, glove compartment door assembly, upper instrument panel sub-assembly, front door scuff plate RH and LH, instrument panel under cover sub-assembly RH and LH, cowl side trim board RH and LH, shift lever knob sub-assembly (for manual transaxle), upper console panel sub-assembly, console upper rear panel sub-assembly, console box carpet, rear console box assembly, instrument pad lower RH and LH, instrument panel lower finish panel sub-assembly, instrument panel box, disconnect the antenna cord sub-assembly, separate the hood lock control lever sub-assembly, and remove the lower instrument panel sub-assembly. Position the front wheels straight ahead, remove the steering pad, steering wheel assembly, steering column cover, combination switch assembly, disconnect the power steering ECU, remove the instrument panel sub reinforcement, column hole cover silencer sheet, separate the steering sliding yoke sub-assembly, remove the brake pedal (for automatic transaxle), brake master cylinder push rod clevis (for manual transaxle), brake pedal support sub-assembly (for manual transaxle), remove the steering column assembly, heater to register duct assembly, defroster nozzle assembly, and the rear air ducts (No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 for cold area specification vehicles). The instrument panel brace sub-assembly should be removed as a first step followed by separating the main body ECU (driver side J/B) before removing the instrument panel reinforcement until finally taking out the blower unit through its three screws. The procedure for installation consists of these steps in reverse order while installing the blower unit with its 3 screws, then connecting all parts such as heater water inlet and outlet hoses and liquid tube sub-assembly, suction tube sub-assembly, plus adding engine coolant. Before finishing the procedure one must connect to the negative battery terminal using 5.4 N.m (55 kgf.cm, 48 in.lbf) torque while conducting SRS warning light checks and charging refrigerant before engine warm-up followed by leak inspections of both engine coolant and refrigerant and ensuring front wheel alignment and torque sensor zero point calibration.
