Fail: Cabin FAN - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ramblin yari · 05-22-2013, 11:22 PM

Mine failed 9/2012. I'm pretty sure it was from a clogged condensate drain. Why? Because the clog just happened again this week. Left turns would cause a squeal, grinding noise in the fan. As I was dropping it off to make sure that it got checked out before the fan failed again, I found wetness on the passenger floor. They drained the condensate out of the housing and unclogged the drain.

Funny the dealer didn't mention the cause of the failure last time. I paid $57 for diagnostic fee and cleaning out the condensate drain today. Fan sounds fine now. I now know how to clean it out myself now thanks to forum members that did the leg work and did photo documentation.

My question now. Those who have added the cabin air filter that the Toyota failed to install, did it fix the condensate drain clogging?

Also when I asked a year or so ago about replacing the cabin air filter, the service manager insisted they don't have cabin air filters. I took his word for it.
