2009 Toyota Yaris Radiator Parts Q&A

• Q: How to remove the radiator on 2009 Toyota Yaris?

  A: No radiator removal should be initiated until you switch off the ignition because the electric cooling fans are controlled through the ignition system. Start your radiator replacement by removing power from the negative battery lead point then draining out all the engine fluid. The front bumper removal process starts with removing the bumper cover through the front of the hatchback but the process takes the same steps when performed at the front of the sedan. The air cleaner assembly requires disconnecting the intake air flow meter connector, fuel vapor feed hoses, vacuum switching valve connector and ventilation hose before releasing the air cleaner cap and loosening the throttle body hose clamp to remove the air cleaner cap, hose along with element and case. The radiator support absorber upper requires unfastening the 6 claws before removing the No. 1 cooler cover through its 2 clips. Equipped vehicles need a cable and a connector separation before using the 3 bolts to remove the hood lock assembly but non-equipped vehicles must only remove the 3 bolts. First cut the connection between the horn assembly and then remove the four bolts which allow removal of the radiator support sub-assembly upper. Detach the radiator reservoir tank hose from the water filler point and remove radiator hose No. 3 by loosening its clips before disconnecting radiator hose No. 2. Automatic transaxle vehicle owners should detach their oil cooler outlet and inlet hoses by unclipping them. For vehicles with air conditioning the cooling fan motor needs clamps separation while it also requires 2 claws disengagement before radiator assembly removal but vehicles without air conditioning need only clamps separation before radiator assembly removal. The fan shroud along with radiator hose No. 2 and both oil cooler outlet and inlet hoses should be removed after the removal of two claws. You must remove the 2 radiator support cushions followed by the 2 radiator reserve tank hose grommets from the radiator assembly while extracting the radiator drain cock.
