Hi brother. Just looked at a 14 Prius at 122k with only a the corner of the filter left clean every thing else was plugged pretty bad. I didn't buy it. Would you?
Just 3 days ago, I came across your video about changing oil every 5k and not the 10k. So I subscribed to your channel. Then I found this video and ordered a filter and couldn't believe, how dirty the original filter was. A simple $25 filter just saved me thousands. Thank you for this video!
The ratio of likes to dislikes in all your videos just goes to show that if someone throws a stone at you, offer them bread. Thank you for sharing your blessing AMD! 😇🙏
I have already made a contribution to your channel be cause of all the blessings you provide to the car s I own and do many many others do as well. Your advice has helped more than a hundred times more than the small gift I offered as thank you. God bless and keep the good news coming. "Car Care Nut Fan"
Thank you VERY much! Ordered the part from Amazon, cleanded the area, and installed the new filter. Thank you for saving me $150+, that is what my local toyota dealership wanted to chaege me.
Thanks so much for teaching me about caring for my 2013 Prius. I bought it last NYE and have had no problems, but I had no idea it was so important to clean those filters. Being a 76 year old widow, it means a lot to have someone to turn to that won't steer me wrong.(no pun intended). I'm going to get your recommended filter today if possible. Could you please give me your opinion on the little device being advertised as a trouble-shooter that's called FIXD?
It doesnt, they started installing them in late 2012. Add the clip on one. It is a good idea to clean the ductwork and fan. It will add many, many miles to the life of the battery as I understand it.
I can’t believe no Toyota dealership ever recommended me to get this clip on filter for my 2012 Prius ... I just went yesterday to order that part and it was only $17. Now I need to focus on getting that fan cleaned since it’s probably very clogged up. Thank you so much! Your videos are a major help and has saved me lots of $$$.
Hi! For the ct200 is a bit different I don’t have the part number at the moment but can be found at parts.lexus.com enter your vin and search for G92DH
It seem like the original filter has bigger holes so that alot more dust go thru it just look at how dirty the fan get and that new filter holes are half it size would help filter the dust pet hair and other partial from being suck in further.This set up is not as restricted like air filter in the engine compart. So you can clean the filter more offen but due also check the fan every ten thousand miles or so. Just thinking...love your videos very informative to prius over. Thanks
Thank you. We have had our 2013 Prius from new and I was not aware of the battery filter. I have ordered your recommended filter as suggested. We currently have 78k miles on the car and hope to keep it for a long time to come. We have followed the Toyota maintenance schedules religiously and have had only minor issues.
Just upgraded the filter on my 2014 Prius. To remove to old one, it helps a lot to loosen the bottom trim bolt a few turns (not all the way out) before trying to lift. Easy to reach with a 12mm socket and extension. Thanks for all the good information.
Thank you, saw other guides that had you take apart the whole back part of the car to get to this, bought the snap on filter and was easily done in less then 5 min, thanks so much
I totally agree with you. Just like a reusable vacuum cleaner filter . If it’s not broken and does the job why to replacing it ,extra work and wasting of money .
Great advice! I got lucky when my son knocked off the fan cover about 50k into my prius C s life. I cleaned the clogged filter and was careful not to block.
Wow, surprised my 2012 Plug-In had NO input filter whatsoever. Got into the trunk to examine the two cooling fans and they were pristine even after almost 10 years. Went to dealer and bought the outside mesh input filter.
WOW!!!! What a labor saver! My wife is a dog lover, particularly German Shepherds. I didn't even know about the intake filter until I saw your earlier video, and (being okay with a short cut) I used a wooden skewer to pick the dog hair loose (of course there was a mat of dog hair!) and a shop vac at the grill to vacuum it out. I will order or buy a G92DH-47010 today and vacuum it when I clean the car - a 2014. Thanks a million! Unfortunately, we can only click on the thumb up once....
great information! i want to buy that G92DH-40710 filter but the Toyota Dealership only has the offical replacement filter. I even asked for a filter for a 2009 Prius, and they said Toyota doesn't make filters for that model year or prior
For 2015 Prius V reach under rear passenger side seat with a vacuum cleaner hose and vacuum any debris from screen. Your done. Don't let things accumulate under the seat that might block fan intake. I discovered this after following the directions from another video that instructed the screen be removed and cleaned. That was much more difficult than was necessary.
I have 240,000 and I didn't even know about the battery filter. Zero problems, but I've been feeling the efficiency of my car is going down due to the battery's reduced charge.
Hi AMD, I'm OB from Mauritius. I must say you are the best in explaining under the bonnet issue. I've a Toyota Axio Hybrid 2016 model as per seat belt info tag. I'm a mechanic and it helped me to understand the technology. Respect to you. CHEERS. . .
My 2010 has no filter, but I installed his recommeded filter (G92DH-47010). I also cleaned inside the front part of the vent tube, not a lot of dirt or debris. Funny thing, my toyota dealer recommeded a $150+ hybrid battery filer change... Said the filter was dirty. This video saved me at least $150+
I have a 2013 Prius model 2. There is no filter behind the back seat grill. Is there an easy way to check to see how much dust has built up on the HV battery? If I point my leaf blower over the grill, would that blow the dust off the battery? Does the air around the battery exit the car somewhere? The Toyota dealer wants to charge me $400 labor to remove the back seat and clean the dust off the battery.
Hi! I wouldn’t use a leaf blower as that would blow all the dust into the fan. I would instead use an inspection camera would you could buy off of Amazon cheap and send it in the vent to look at the fan. If the fan is clean there’s no need to worry install a filter for ease of cleaning in the future. If it’s dirty then it might be worth the investment to clean it once then install a filter and you’ll never have to clean it again just the filter which is easy
Hybrid battery filter on my 2014 Prius needs to be replaced. Dealership is too expensive. So I did search and found you! Thank you!!!! You got a new subscriber.
I like the way you construct auto part's pictures And demos into your videos. This video Sometimes we do not have clear, well lit parts in car fix videos. You earned my subscription!
Awesome ! Thank you for posting this. One question, would it be harmful if I keep both filters on ? I mean buying the external one but leaving the original, would it block too much the air ? Thanks !
After watching this video, I discovered to my horror that our newly acquired 2012 Prius 3 did not have a high-voltage battery filter. I ordered the snap-on style from my local dealer, but I reckon we have to tear apart the ducts and battery cover to vacuum it all out. The previous owner had dogs.
Dear Car Care Nut: What do you think about running the car with BOTH of these filters at once (the second filter could catch what the first filter might miss thus providing double the protection)? My only concern in doing this is that perhaps it would “impede” overall airflow and not cool the battery as efficiently as using just one clean filter. LMK your thoughts. I was planning to use both filters but want to know your thoughts. Best, Rich Z
Thanks for your Toyota hybrid videos, so clear, helpful and engaging. I have a 2013 Prius (3), just 50k miles and since My Prius is almost 10 years, I am getting concern on the life of the hybrid battery. Is there an inexpensive self test to check health status of the hybrid battery? Thank again and stay well.
PTL! thank you brother. I don't have time to order and install a new filter as we're leaving on a trip in the morning. However I was able to reach the older filter (which was really dirty) and vac it clean. Hoping this is ok until we get back in a few days.
Hi again - as an update on my Toyota Prius Alpha (V in the US), I found some documentation from Toyota that says the Prius V battery cooling fan filter wasn't started on the Prius V until 2014. Mine is a 2013. Does that sound right to you? The grille is under the seat. What do you reckon about a home fix? I plan on taking a look at the fan this week to see how clean it is...I LOVE your videos. Thank you!
Hi! That sounds about right. Toyota did sell a retrofit kit where you can buy a whole new grille which is similar to the newer ones then you have a filter than you can remove and replace or clean
Dear Car Care Nut, for preventive maintenance I would like to clean the HV battery fan on my Prius Plus 2012. This is the European Prius Plus, the HV battery is located between the front seats. I cannot find any information on this procedure on the WWW. Your tips are very much appreciated. Again, my car is the EUROPEAN Prius Plus. Thank you. Your channel is the best for Toyota maintenance. Thank you for your valuable tips.
Installing mine as soon as it arrives I just went through changing out my HV battery and I had bought the car used You can't even imagine that's the wad of dog hair that was trapped in the fan because it had no filter from the factory that will never happen again
Wait - so this is crazy! The Toyota dealership just quoted me $260 to change this filter! AND I have one of those 2012s that did not even have the original filter in the first place!! Is there more to this that would justify $260??
We have a 2011 Prius. No filter. It's 2023 now and the service department has never mentioned installing that outside clip-on filter. 🤦♂️ Since the standard way of accessing the fan involves a HUGE disassembly procedure, I'm going to try to snake one of those thin, flexible clothes dryer vacuum hoses in the duct vent to clean the squirrel cage fan before adding a filter.
Hi sir...I am driving the Toyota Prius 2013 in London as a Uber driver..I am having some issues which my garage didn't really understand that....my car losing the power when I have four passengers and driving up Hill...my mechanic told that it required the EGR valve and sparkling plugs ..I have changed all the EGR valve and plugs which cost me a lot money 💰.. unfortunately it didn't make any changes to the performance......any tips would be really appreciate....God bless
It requires some force to lift it up and pull it out of the hook. Otherwise the bottom of the back seat needs to be removed and a 12mm bolt underneath that piece removed.
2013 Prius V with 91k miles. I recently inspected and cleaned the intake to the HV cooling system (under the rear seat) and found it and the squirrel cage blower remarkably clean and free from any debris. I did not see any filter, but discovered from the comments here that it did not come with a filter. After doing a factory recall on the car, the dealer says that the "HV fan vent is clogged with debris and is missing filter" and recommended a $375 "HV fan service and filter replacement." I suspect they did not really inspect the air intake - a reason I avoid this dealership. Question: should I go to the trouble of replacing the interior trim with a piece accepting a filter? If I recall correctly, the air actually comes from beneath the seat. Thanks for you delightful videos!
Hi@@TheCarCareNut! I also have a 2013 Prius V and it seems like they have a filter part number G92DH-47090 starting with the 2014 model. I was wondering if you knew enough about the Prius V models to know if that filter part for 2014-2017 might also fit the 2013 Prius v fan, retrofitting it kind of like you do suggest in this video. Love your content, thank you!!
thank you very much, this video is very informative I went to take out the filter that was supposed to be in the car when I removed the paneling that filter was not there should I be worried? nonetheless I replaced it with the filter that goes outside of the vent and it was a piece of cake to put on once again thank you very much for your video
How to you replace a filter for a 2013 Lexus CT200. Is it the same process? I have 125k miles and never change the filter. Thank you for the great and informative videos it is a life saver.
Hi I was told my 2015 Gen 3 Prius hybrid engine filter in back seat was not removable?? Please I don't think the service department knows! I was told by service manager 2015 4th Gen , anothean who worked up front told me Gen 2 then finally Andrew cared enough to find out Told me look on the side of driver's door will tell me when car is manufactured then I can find out which Gen mine is Gen 3. Please let me know if Black filter it came with is removable
Thanks for the video. My filter looks very clean. I’ve ordered the clip on filter. Do I really need to remove the internal filter? Would leaving it and adding the clip on be a bad idea? Thank you!
MY PRIUS DIDN'T COME WITH FILTER AFTER 217K MILES I OPEN THE BATTERY NOT MUCH GOING ON THERE IS SOME LINT AT THE BOTTOM EDGES BUT THE AIR STILL PASSES WITHOUT MUCH OBSTRUCTION
Great advice in your videos. The filter or inlet on the wagon is not on the side but underneath the back seat. Have you a video on replacement of this filter version of the Prius V wagon?
2:35 What sorcery is this! I tried left and right, up and down but can't seem to remove that part the way you did. I have a JDM Prius. Maybe the Japanese model is built differently to the US model?
I'm a taxi driver. A taxi or Uber driver should consider getting the bigger so their passemgers aren't running agaisnt it everyday, but good to know the non uber drivers among us have a better option. Thanks bro.
What a great service. This guy is a true resource, and very kinds ti shre his knowledge Not only that, he make a great video! Clear, easy to follow, well-organized. 5 ☆ FOR SURE! JK- Cherey Valley, CA
I have a Prius V built in June 2012. It does not have a battery air filter. Is it possible to retrofit the car with a battery air filter? Is it advisable? Is it a DIY project? Thanks
@@TheCarCareNut I went to the Toyota dealership this morning. Neither the Parts Dept, Svc Dept, nor Svc Dpt Mgr were able to find the part number of the retrofit kit or new mouth for the intake in the Toyota parts database. I would really appreciate it if you could provide the part numbers. Thanks
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks for the part numbers. I ordered those parts today. Do I also need a body panel? There is no opening in the body panel of my Prius.

hi what about earlier prius models??/ do they have same filter fan setups??? thanks
Hi! They didn’t come equipped from the factory but you can buy one for them
So, you would have to remove old filter first, before putting the one you recommended on, correct? Awesome video!!
Yes! I wouldn’t use double filters
Can i use both filter. One on the outside and leaving the original on the inside?
I wouldn’t as that could create a restriction. Either use the inside or the outside.

Hi! There’s a small mesh underneath the passenger seat. Honestly if your fan is clean then the way you use the car likely won’t clog the filter
Hi@@TheCarCareNut! I also have a 2013 Prius V and it seems like they have a filter part number G92DH-47090 starting with the 2014 model. I was wondering if you knew enough about the Prius V models to know if that filter part for 2014-2017 might also fit the 2013 Prius v fan, retrofitting it kind of like you do suggest in this video. Love your content, thank you!!
Hi: I have a 2013 Prius Hybrid Plug-in. Wish you trick worked for me. Can you add the procedures that are do different for my Prius NOT PRIME
Should I put both filter back ?
Hi! I think that would be a bit much. Use either or
thank you very much, this video is very informative I went to take out the filter that was supposed to be in the car when I removed the paneling that filter was not there should I be worried? nonetheless I replaced it with the filter that goes outside of the vent and it was a piece of cake to put on once again thank you very much for your video
Can you please guide for language change in meter? Prius 2013
Thanks
how to reset cooling performance sign
It should automatically reset once the issue is resolved with the cooling
I have a 2010 and it does not have any filter. Should I be worried about the battery having debris collected in it?
My car is a Lexus ES 300h
Please have a video how to recharge the 12 v battery in the back.
Thanks
Can this approach be used on a 2013 Camry hybrid? Is there a part number for that type of filter for this vehicle?
That trick is awesome
I Love you man 👍🏻
How to you replace a filter for a 2013 Lexus CT200. Is it the same process? I have 125k miles and never change the filter.
Thank you for the great and informative videos it is a life saver.
Hi I was told my 2015 Gen 3 Prius hybrid engine filter in back seat was not removable?? Please I don't think the service department knows! I was told by service manager 2015 4th Gen , anothean who worked up front told me Gen 2 then finally Andrew cared enough to find out
Told me look on the side of driver's door will tell me when car is manufactured then I can find out which Gen mine is Gen 3. Please let me know if Black filter it came with is removable
Hi, our 2014 Prius V has no vent there or anywhere else that I can find. Does the "V" have it somewhere else?
Thanks for the video. My filter looks very clean. I’ve ordered the clip on filter. Do I really need to remove the internal filter? Would leaving it and adding the clip on be a bad idea? Thank you!
So glad I denied this suggested replacement at my dealer. They want to charge 250 for this! Gez. I’m buying the filter and doing it myself lol
You probably saved me 500 bucks at the Toyota dealer!! 😂😂😆😳😳😳😳😳
MY PRIUS DIDN'T COME WITH FILTER AFTER 217K MILES I OPEN THE BATTERY NOT MUCH GOING ON THERE IS SOME LINT AT THE BOTTOM EDGES BUT THE AIR STILL PASSES WITHOUT MUCH OBSTRUCTION
Excellent! I removed the piece as shown and there was no filter there. Getting the snap on filter now. Thanks
This filter is not in the Toyota Prius V for 2013! You should say that in your video.
Great advice in your videos. The filter or inlet on the wagon is not on the side but underneath the back seat. Have you a video on replacement of this filter version of the Prius V wagon?
Hi! On the Prius V it’s different and yes underneath the back seat. I haven’t made a video yet on the Prius V
2:35 What sorcery is this! I tried left and right, up and down but can't seem to remove that part the way you did. I have a JDM Prius. Maybe the Japanese model is built differently to the US model?
Is the part G92DH-47010 good for Prius Plug-in 2013 also?
I bought one from the local dealer. I couldn't get that piece to even lift up, let alone pulling it towards me. Prius 2015. Anyone else?
Can you please make a video on how to clean hybrid battery fan filter on Prius v 7 seater. Thank you
In my lexus Ct200h this filter was missing. So I made a DIY filter with mosquito net :) . Its hard to find some spare parts. 😕
My 2012 prius hybrid (gas/electric) doesn’t have a filter. Where do I find the snap on one? Thanks
I just sold my 2013 Prius and never knew it had a filter. The dealership never told me either
Pull up and remove my ass! There is bolt down there holding that panel. Thanks a bunch for making me sweat, mr. Genius.
I'm a taxi driver. A taxi or Uber driver should consider getting the bigger so their passemgers aren't running agaisnt it everyday, but good to know the non uber drivers among us have a better option. Thanks bro.
What a great service. This guy is a true resource, and very kinds ti shre his knowledge Not only that, he make a great video! Clear, easy to follow, well-organized. 5 ☆ FOR SURE!

I have a 2012 Prius V--my filter must be located somewhere else--any idea where it is on the 2012 Prius V?
I have a Prius V built in June 2012. It does not have a battery air filter. Is it possible to retrofit the car with a battery air filter? Is it advisable? Is it a DIY project? Thanks
Hi! There’s a retrofit kit from the dealership. Doesn’t cost a lot but you need to buy a new mouth for the intake then a filter installs into it
@@TheCarCareNut I went to the Toyota dealership this morning. Neither the Parts Dept, Svc Dept, nor Svc Dpt Mgr were able to find the part number of the retrofit kit or new mouth for the intake in the Toyota parts database. I would really appreciate it if you could provide the part numbers. Thanks
Hi! The mouth part number is G92D3-47050 and the new filter that will go on it is G92DH-47090
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks for the part numbers. I ordered those parts today. Do I also need a body panel? There is no opening in the body panel of my Prius.
If so, I would need the part number for the body panel.
