Fan Motor, Passenger Side

Start the replacement of the electric cooling Fan Motor by first removing the fan blades while keeping in mind that the retaining nut has a left-hand thread. Each electric cooling Fan Motor requires its retaining nut to be removed thus allowing the fan detachment from the motor shaft. After removing the retaining screws on the cooling Fan Motor you should extract the motor out from its shroud position. The installation process starts with inserting the cooling Fan Motor into the shroud while following the fastener notice in service precautions. Install the cooling Fan Motor retention bolts with a torque value of 6 nm (53 inch lbs.). Install the cooling fan onto the motor shaft while keeping in mind the fan blade retaining nut runs in a left-hand direction before attaching the cooling fan retaining nut to motors and tightening both to 6 nm (53 inch lbs.). The last step involves reinstallation of the electric cooling fan.

Replacing an electric Radiator fan begins with draining the cooling system followed by removal of front headlamps along with hood latch support and upper Radiator seal and upper Radiator brackets. The procedure starts with removing both the inlet Radiator Hose from the Radiator and the wiring harness electrical connector from the motor and fan bracket. The installation of a new electric Radiator fan requires replacing the fan assembly mounting bolts and disconnection of both the fan bracket bolts along with the transaxle oil cooler pipe bracket bolts from the lower tie bar and Fan Shroud. Raise the Radiator assembly from the lower mounts by lifting it forward towards the vehicle front at the left side. Switch off the Radiator fans by freeing them from their bottom mounting tabs and raise the Radiator fan assembly on the left side. To install the assembly begin by inserting it into lower Radiator holding tabs before securing fan electric Radiator fan mounting bolts at 9 nm (80 inch lbs.). The Radiator and fan assembly should go onto the lower mounts while the coolant overflow hose needs to fit into the Fan Shroud clips followed by proper alignment of the transaxle oil cooler pipes with the Fan Shroud routing features. Attach the transaxle oil cooler pipe bracket fasteners to the Fan Shroud while securing them to the lower tie bar using fasteners of 6 nm (53 inch lbs.) and 9 nm (80 inch lbs.). After connecting the electrical connectors of the wiring harness to fan motors, attach the inlet Radiator Hose to the Radiator before locking the upper Radiator brackets with 10 nm (89 inch lbs.) torque. The last steps include installation of the upper Radiator seal combined with the hood latch support and front headlamps and coolant system filling.

First, remove the electric cooling fan.

Position the motor back into the shroud and secure it with the motor retaining screws.

First, remove the electric cooling fan, noting that the fan blade retaining nut has a left-hand thread.

Attach the cooling fan blade to the motor shaft, ensuring to secure the fan blade retaining nut to the motors with a left-hand thread, also tightening it to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.).

Attach the motor to the shroud and secure it with the motor retaining screws, tightening the electric cooling fan motor mounting bolts to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.).
