• Q: How to remove and replace the blower motor for the hatchback on 2010 Toyota Yaris?

  A: The blower motor replacement for the hatchback requires disconnecting the negative cable and letting it rest for 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag activation. The technician should start by draining engine coolant and removing refrigerant from the refrigeration system. The first wiper removal step involves taking off the front head cap then moving to both side front wiper blades with their respective assemblies. After taking off the hood to cowl top seal you can remove the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly followed by removing the left cowl top ventilator louver. Take off the front wiper motor with link before continuing to separate the No. 2 cowl to register duct sub-assembly and the cowl top panel outer. Start by disconnecting the suction tube sub-assembly and the liquid tube sub-assembly followed by heater water outlet hose A and heater water hose inlet A. Finally, remove the instrument panel finish panel ends on both sides, the instrument cluster finish panel No.1 and the combination meter assembly. First detach the instrument cluster finish panel sub-assembly center along with the radio tuner opening cover which lacks the radio receiver and the radio receiver assembly. The service procedure requires removal of the air conditioner panel sub-assembly with subsequent detachment of the air mix damper control cable the defroster damper control cable and the air inlet damper control cable. Remove the front door opening trim weatherstraps on both sides and also detach the front pillar garnishes from each side as well as the No.1 switch hole base and glove compartment door assembly. Start the procedure by taking out the upper instrument panel sub-assembly combined with the front door scuff plates from both sides and finally the instrument panel under cover sub-assemblies from both sides. Remove the cowl side trim boards from both sides and the shift lever knob sub-assembly along with the shifting hole cover sub-assembly (for manual transaxle) and the console box cover rear and carpet and final assembly of the console box. The technician needs to remove two main components together with the instrument panel box and the No. 6 heater to register duct assembly. The antenna cord with the hood lock control lever needs disconnection before successfully pulling out the lower instrument panel sub-assembly. Properly position the front wheels in a straight-ahead direction before taking out the steering pad along with the steering wheel assembly and steering column cover and combination switch assembly and power steering ECU. The technician must detach the instrument panel sub reinforcement while taking out the column hole cover silencer sheet to split the steering sliding yoke sub-assembly. The brake pedal (automatic transaxle) should be removed and then the brake master cylinder push rod clevis together with brake pedal support (manual transaxle) must be taken off before moving on to the steering column assembly removal. First detach the rear No. 2 and No. 1 and No. 3 air ducts (identify if the vehicle has cold area specification) and then take out the defroster nozzle assembly and instrument panel brace sub-assembly. Separating the main body ECU from the connector No. 2 holder and removing both the instrument panel reinforcement and blower unit requires screw removal.
