    Hey there everyone. As summer is officially here, I'd like to make sure my HV battery fan is clear of any dust and debris to ensure the batteries are being cooled well. I've searched around and the only guides I can find are for the Second Generation Prius. There was one thread on here for the Third Generation, but the pictures were stored on Prius Chats' website and didn't get migrated over during the forum transformation. Here's a link to the search I conducted. I couldn't find too much. If anyone is willing to write a guide, take some pictures, or anything to help start the process of cleaning the HV battery fan that would be awesome.

    Thanks guys,
    Derek

    Edit: If anyone has access to the Technical Information System (TIS) Manual, the instructions are under Engine/Hybrid System – Hybrid/Battery Control System – “Hybrid/Battery Control: Battery Blower: Removal”. If you could post that, or send it to me in a PM that would be great.
