2009 Toyota Prius Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the radiator and its components on 2009 Toyota Prius?

  A: The installation of the radiator requires Special Service Tool: 09817-33190 for the radiator fan temperature switch assembly which needs 7.0 Nm (71 kgf-cm, 62 in-lbf) torque. Begin with the installation of the No. 2 radiator to the vehicle and then attach the radiator support lower LH with 3 bolts that require 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf) for bolt A along with 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) for bolt B. Perform this operation again for the radiator support lower RH while using equivalent torque settings. The radiator support upper LH needs 3 bolts installed at 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf) for bolt A while bolt B requires 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf). Apply the same installation steps to the radiator support upper RH after completing the radiator support upper LH. The last step involves installing both motor and assembly elements of the fan unit.
