Check the FC coolant level. If its at full or above, start the vehicle to initialize the Fuel Cell and check around the housing for leaks. Do not forget to reset the Ion Filter Maintenance reminder. To do so navigate to settings --> Maintenance --> Reset Ion Filter. Please see below for after care.
Hi @toashot, I like to reset this reminder on my car, but I don't find such options your mentioned. Can you provide more detail about it? maybe upload a short video that will be very appreciated.
Really appreciate the tutorial. I just changed mine 5 minutes ago. Fair warning to everyone, it can get messy! Let the coolant drain as you pull it out. And put the filter back in slowly, the coolant level will come up and spill out!
Hi, I need to top my FC coolant because it’s far below the ‘low’ mark. Unfortunately no warning about it. I’m 150 miles away from a Mirai certified dealership and afraid my car won’t make it without overheating 😢. I am ordering the coolant. I just want to check with you. Did you fill the tank by just removing the lid on top of the tank, the plastic lid with two tubes connected? If so, did you use a funnel of some sort? Thank you in advance 🙏
Any updates on how to change the filter? Where to get the best price on the filter and if there is anyone that installs is for cheaper than the dealer ?
When you got the new filter element, was it wet. I got mine from the Toyota dealership, it was completely sealed but when I open it, it was wet. Not sure if it was supposed to come with it wet. Thank you.
Hello, this video was exactly what I was looking for. Would you happen to have the name of the type of Ion filter you used? There have been a few I have seen but at the end of the day I don't know what would be good enough. Thanks!
What is the fluid in the FCV Cooling system and noticing some loss of fluid on filter replacement, should it be topped off? Will Toyota sell in Parts to owner?
I've done this replacement 2 days ago and i buy the Ion filter directly at Toyota Service Center but after i replace the old one with this brand new ion filter the message still pop up "Ion Filter Maintenance" whenever i start the engine/car? What's still needs to be done?
It's hard to tell. The filter contains ion exchange resin, which looks like little fish eggs. I am not totally sure, but usually the main function of the ion exchange resin is to soften and desalinate water. If the filter is not changed, it can increase the conductivity of the coolant and possibly clog the thin holes of the hydrogen fuel cell cooling system with calcium.
My 2018 Mirai has this on the dash FC System Check in Progress … unfortunately the dealer is way too expensive and just to see it they want 8000 I’m located in the Los Angeles area do anyone have any answers. The car only drives for so long then shuts down; I start it back up continue driving then it stops all over again .
I can’t believe some people are saying that Toyota charges up to $1000 to do this. The filter is less than $300. How can they justify a $700 labor charge for a 15 minute job?
@@dmitri1490 Нет, фильтр не имеет к этому никакого отношения, это просто система охлаждения. У меня получается 250 миль примерно, а когда на машине ездит жена, то 270.
Нет, он фильтрует охлаждающую жидкость, которая циркулирует по водородным топливным элементам. Судя посодержимому фильтра, это обычная ионообменная смола, такая же как для умягчения воды.

Hell yeah, thank you. You just saved me the $300+ dollars they were going to charge me for 5 minutes of work.
The ion filter itself is 300$ here in Cali but have any of you guys done Oil Change Is as just like a regular car was their specifics to meet

Thank you so much,Toyota wanted to charge me $600 for this.
What other maintenance do you do on your mirai. I am very new with it.
Thank you
Saving money rules. I’m about to start using Walmart for tire rotation. $10 only vs $40+ other places charge.
Thank you for sharing this video. Any idea how to reset the "Ion Filter Maintenance" message after change the filter by yourself?

I like to buy this car and there's enough ev and hev mechanics but no one in our country knows how to repair fcevs and this video was great
Any updates on how to change the filter? Where to get the best price on the filter and if there is anyone that installs is for cheaper than the dealer ?
I recently bought mine from Japan. It was a lot cheaper than what the dealership wanted.
@Dr.PIXEL, any updates on changing the filter? Did you do it again ? The video was from 2 years ago, I assume your next change is due now.
Just followed your video. Thank you Dr p!
The inside of your engine hood looks clean. How do you keep it so clean?
Thank you looks easy . My question is how much is the filter?
is there any videos about changing the engine air filter and the cabin air filter ?
Thanks Dr. Pixel! Super helpful!!
When you got the new filter element, was it wet. I got mine from the Toyota dealership, it was completely sealed but when I open it, it was wet. Not sure if it was supposed to come with it wet. Thank you.
Yes ofcourse, it must be wet. Because inside the filter there are granules of ion exchange resin. If they dry out, they will deteriorate.
Thank you very much for the answer.

I believe that there is enough coolant in the cooling system. www.dynalene.com/product-category/heat-transfer-fluids/dynalene-fc/
No they dont that's why i pay $240 for the reset and topoff of ion fluid. I buy the filter myself and replace it...

Go to the info on your infotainment system and message and you can delete it
@@itatihernandez5666 such a helpful community of owners watching this video. Much love for the help ❤️
Can you make a video on replacing cabin air filter please
Hi
Nice job with clear instructions!
what is that liquid? water?
Coolant for fcev system
What about the message that's it clear on it's own or how did your clear it?

Great video! Thank you so much! Just saved $200......
Hi brother, I have left turn signal blink once then stop, what should I do ? Thank you
Я теперь тоже буду в Жигулёнке менять масло с беленькими бумажными полотенцами :)
Is that ion filter the one that needs to clean the air before it goes into the fuel cell?
If so, how often does one needs to do this on average.
Actually no. It's a fuel cell coolant filter. 2017-2019 - Every 35K miles.
@@ShmitUA oke thanks. And how about that airfilter for the air going into the fuel cell? How many miles on that?
What is the liquid coming out, is it just water? Or coolant?
It is a deionized coolant that has a high electrical resistance, like tens of MOhms (10^6)
@@RuBuCa thanks!
Thank you so much for this knowledge
What happens if you never replace the ION filter? Might sound like a dumb question but I’m curious?

The old filter looks so clean.. Wonder if you can just rinse it under a sink and put it back?? haha..

How to reset it right after the replacement of new Ion filter? My display screen shows 'Go to dealer!' message

@Dr. PIXEL после замены фильтра есть какие-то изменения
Нет никаких изменений. Там внутри этого фильтра насыпаны гранулы, очень похоже на ионообменную смолу, точно такая как в фильтрах для питьевой воды.

After you change the ion hydrogen filter do you need to reset it on the dashboard?
