As long as the filter mesh doesn't get damaged somehow, these filters should indeed last the life of the car. Just blow the dirt out of them with compressed air twice a year (or more often if you live somewhere that's really dusty), and they'll last indefinitely.
Trick with the HV battery filters... Vacuum from the inflow side first... If using compressed air, blow from the outflow side, pushing the dirt away from the battery cooling system.
These are very easy to maintain. Access is easy, and removal and replace also easy; no tools needed. It helps to have an air compressor with a blow-gun attachment to blow the dust out of them. But they are kind of delicate, be careful not to punch or tear a hole in the mesh while handling them.
Did you actually get the car? How do you like it? I've had my Prime for almost 3 years, and it's amazing. Even loaded down with camping gear, with a cargo pod on the roof, I get 55mpg. Unloaded, 62mpg. If you would like to more closely monitor your Prime's performance, get a Bluetooth OBD-II scanner (about $36), which you plug into the OBD-II port under the dashboard. If you have an Android smartphone or tablet, install these three apps: CarScanner, Hybrid Assistant, and Tire Assistant. Car Scanner reads ALL of the data the car's ECM computer provides. It's $5 and worth it. Hybrid Assistant is what I use while driving: it shows a bunch of data on State of Charge of the traction battery, temperatures of the MG1 and MG2 stators, Inverters, transaxle, and engine coolant. Instantaneous power levels from the ICE and MG2 motor, and fuel consumption statistics. Tire Assistant reads the TPMS sensor data in your tires, and shows you the actual pressure in all 4 tires: no more having to get down of your hands and knees with a tire gauge.
Thank you for your video helped me. Other video that said were for regular hybrid prius and at different location. But your video was perfect for prius prime. Thank you now I don't have to worry about hybrid batteries going bad or take it to the dealership to clean it.
Thanks for the great, well informed hybrid info you provide in your videos. I have a '19 Prius Prime I bought new in June of '19. In my job as a courier it now has 197,000 miles on it (90% highway). I checked my filters for the first time after watching this video and they are clean as can be. I don't have passengers in the back seat and the seats are always down so that might have something to do with it. The main thing that blows me away is I am still rolling on the original brakes! I'm really hoping to get 500K or more on this vehicle even if that eventually means a hybrid battery replacement.
@@TheCarCareNut Hopefully this works....I tried creating a link to the pics on Google Drive and posting but they would disappear after refreshing the page. This is an unrestricted link to the two photos on Google Photos. The mileage today is 196446 but will be 197,000 in the next day or so (depends on what kind of runs I get).

These filters are not expensive. I replace them instead of vacuum to clean it. Brand new one is always cleanest ones. I have Camry hybrid 2018. I change them once a year. They are not that bad but I replace the filter to avoid trouble later
Correction for 2021 Prime! Evidently, they made some primes with the wider filters since they made both ductworks wide. Mine has two wides and no narrow one as depicted! Can't even find the left wide anywhere! Was wondering what models have the wider filter?
The Car Care Nut Good Afternoon 👍 Take care and have a great day 👍 Great tutorial thank you very much helpful video From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
thank you for clarifying. I thought because the vents to the battery were inside the car, the cabin filter would take care of filtering the air going to the batteries.
Great info. Well explained. I don't even have a hybrid but still watched to the end as it great information I can share with my friends who have hybrids.
Fantastic Video as always! Hey quick question on the RAV4 Hybrid gas tank problem as you may have heard about already. I have a 2021 Venza and in the video of your review of the Venza you mentioned it was the same as RAV4 Hybrid in many of it's components. Is the gas tank built the same as the RAV4 Hybrid? Should I worry about encountering the same issue as RAV4 Hybrid owners?
Hi! So far the Venza hasn’t had any issues. Some folks have reported issues but they’re not the same. The principal symptom on the RAV4 was the inability to fill the tank and the gauge never goes to full. If you don’t have that exact issue in your Venza then you’re good and likely won’t have it.
@@TheCarCareNut Gotcha! I haven't had that issue. I have seen that from empty I only fuel up 11.79 gallons. I also get a range of approximately 450miles instead of the advertised 536.5 highway but I do still get the 39/41 mpg. I'll definitely pay closer attention at the pump from now on.
What you are saying makes sense about the battery filter, but it bothers me that I don't see anything about that in the owner's manual or the maintenance guide that came with the car. Why doesn't Toyota tell us to change these filters? I have a 2017 Prius Prime plug-in with 93,000 miles. It has been very reliable with minimal maintenance required. I would have changed these filters long ago if I had known.

I have a 2017 Prius C. It does not have a removable battery filter. It has a vent on the back passenger seat on the drivers side. How can I clean the battery vent? How can I make sure the battery is getting adequate ventilation? Great videos and thank you. Tony
Hi AMD. Love and appreciate your videos. I'm a new Prius prime owner and was wondering what the vents underneath the passenger and driver rear seats are for? Do they also need servicing?
Hi! So the vents under the back seat are for the charger which sits underneath the back seat and has a fan. They don’t have a filter and there’s no service needed. Don’t block them when the car is off and charging as that’s when they’ll be used
Hello, I do really appreciate your videos. They are very informative. If you don't mind can you answer my question. I recently bought a 2018 prius plus 7 seater. The air went for the battery is under the passenger seat. I s there is any filter for this model. I couldn't find.. please help. Thanks
Ok so it doesn’t have a filter from the factory but one can be installed for it. The back seat bolster would need to come apart to install the filter. I am looking for an Avalon hybrid in the Chicago area to film a video on how to do this no luck so far

Could you please explain how to replace and - most importantly ADJUST - the brake light switch on a 2004 4Runner? Specifically, how to replace the brown nut on top of the bracket. Thank you!
The brown not can be difficult to replace. But you’ll need to break the 2 tabs that lock it in the install the new one. Before you remove the switch take a picture of how far the switch part sticks out so you can install the new switch at the same height
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks a lot! I had a code C1246 (faulty master cyl pressure sensor), found a recommendation that it could be the brake light switch adjustment. Scanned with TechStream and found that pressure would go up before the switch is engaged. Adjusted, the problem disappeared for 2-3 weeks, then came back. Decided to replace the switch first - it's cheap and easy - but it did not solve the problem - the code came back. Scanned again, this time found that master cylinder pressure sensor output is 1.9v and does not change with pedal pressure. It seems to me that the problem is with the switch (and I even found the part) but I can't find it anywhere on the master cylinder or other components around it. 1. Do you think it's the switch issue or could it be something else - Toyota shop manual mentions solenoid? 2. If it's the switch, where is it located? 3. If it's something else, what can it be? With great respect and gratitude!
Hi! Honestly this might be an issue with the hydraulic booster itself as most of the parts are not serviceable in that unit. How are the brakes working generally? Do you have assist? And what warning lights are on?
@@TheCarCareNut Brakes work fine, VSC, Traction, and ABS lights come on after a few minutes of driving so initial diagnostic cycle apparently goes through successfully.
@@TheCarCareNut Thank you very much for your quick response! I have question about transmission fluid What I should buy for my transmission fluid and its cvt and in how many miles I need to change it ( iam uber driver )
The lithium ion batteries are relatively new to the Toyota hybrid world so I can’t for sure say that last more or less. But they have some advantages over the nickel metal that would make the time they last better. Video is planned on difference and will come in the future.
I have 83,000 miles on my 2017 Prius Prime Premium. How long till I have to worry about replacing them? And how should I go about replacing them when it's time??
I have a 2017 Prius Prime with 75000 miles. The dealer is asking me to do the hybrid fan service. Do you know if the fan service is triggered by the onboard sensor or strictly from the maintenance schedule checklist? I cleaned and replaced the filter per your video at 45000 miles (and they are super clean since I do not have pets or passengers) but I have not disassemble the backseat to vaccume and clean the fan.
Is the 2018 prius prime, can the hatchback be adjusted for height of the opening? We already experienced the Hatchback almost getting hit by garage door in the open position and then someone presses close and well the door hit the Hatchback but we stopped it in time. I notice 2 bolts higher up on the opened Hatchback, are these to move to hydraulic shocks so Hatchback doesn't open higher?
The powertrain in the Regular Prius and the Prius Prime Prime are not much different. The gas engine is identical. The gear ratios are slightly different because the Prime has a slightly more powerful MG2 motor. The main difference is that the Prime's traction battery has about 7 times more capacity, and it's lithium instead of NIMH. The main reason to drive a Prime is to save on fuel costs. To decide if a PHEV is right for you, either a Prius Prime or a Rav4 Prime, you should consider the following factors in the city where you live: 1. What does regular gasoline cost? Figure your cost per mile in Hybrid mode, based on 50 mpg for a regular Prius or 55 mpg for a Prime (the Prime has better aerodynamics, and the larger battery helps it recover more energy in regen mode). 2. What does electric power cost per kilowatt hour where you live? My Prius Prime can go about 35 miles on a 6.7 kw-hour charge. I pay 9.5¢/kw-hr if I charge between midnight and 06:00. That's 64¢ for 35 miles, or about 1.82¢/mile in EV mode. Gasoline where I live is $4.50/gallon, and the car gets 55mpg in ICE mode, which is 8.12¢/mile. So the car costs 4.5 times as much to drive on gasoline than it does electricity, where I live in California. In Honolulu, Hawaii, where electricity is 38¢/kw-hour and gasoline is $4.10, the difference is much less dramatic: 6.84¢/mile on electricity, 7.45¢/mile on gas. If you live somewhere that your electricity is less than 12¢/kw-hour, or if you have rooftop solar and can charge your car essentially for free, and gasoline is hella expensive, the Prius Prime is the way to go. But in Hawaii, or anywhere else that electric rates are steep, a Prius Prime might not save you enough on fuel to justify the higher purchase price, unless you plan to keep the car for 200,000 miles.
2017 Prius Three Touring (L4 1.8L 1798cc 110in³ ) - I don't think I have those battery filters AMD. Is that correct? And my Prius doesn't have those vents like the video.
Thank AMD for this another nice video ! Good information here ! By any chance, can you demonstrate how to clean the HV battery filter in a 2020 Hybrid Highlander ? Keep up the good work :)
@@TheCarCareNut - What would be totally awesome is a Highlander Prime or a Sequoia Prime. Either one would have substantially more carrying capacity than a Rav4 Prime, which is actually a very small car: taller than a Corolla, but no longer or wider I think. I might trade my Prius Prime for a Rav4 Prime - if this danged supply shortage ever gets fixed - but if Toyota were offering the Highlander in a PHEV version, I'd much rather have a Highlander Prime than a Rav4 Prime. Since the Highlander is already available as a Hybrid, they've already got the E-CVT for it (P-710 I think, same as the Camry and Sequoia Hybrids), they would just need to do a full under-floor lithium battery, same as the Rav4 Prime and Tesla, and revise the ECM software as needed.
Is there anyone having the same problem like my Prius one 2017? No sound is coming out from radio, Bluetooth. Screen works fine, just no sound in any format.

The lithium ion batteries are relatively new to the Toyota hybrid world so I can’t for sure say that last more or less. But they have some advantages over the nickel metal that would make the time they last better. Video is planned on difference and will come in the future.
@@TheCarCareNut ok thank you for your input!
I have 83,000 miles on my 2017 Prius Prime Premium. How long till I have to worry about replacing them? And how should I go about replacing them when it's time??
Hi! I would inspect them for debris. If they’re clean don’t worry about them
I notice there are three fixed panel plastic air grills under the back seat of the PHV. Do these too requiring servicing? They appear unserviceable.
Ty! Love my Prime!
Does the Prius Prime have a filter underneath the rear right side seat for the battery charger?
What if you don’t t have filter grids on the back wall of the back seat? Could the filter be somewhere else?
I have a 2017 Prius Prime with 75000 miles. The dealer is asking me to do the hybrid fan service. Do you know if the fan service is triggered by the onboard sensor or strictly from the maintenance schedule checklist? I cleaned and replaced the filter per your video at 45000 miles (and they are super clean since I do not have pets or passengers) but I have not disassemble the backseat to vaccume and clean the fan.
Maintenance schedule. I'm at the Toyota dealership now. Asking about $300 to clean it.
Hi, Do you have this for a 2017 NON PRIME with how to clean the fans?
I was charging my prime while cleaning the back seats and I felt warm air coming out of from the vents you cleaned in video. Is that normal?
Do the hybrid battery filters under the seat need replacement?
Would it be helpful to clean these filters with a stream of water?
I wouldn’t use water.
Is the 2018 prius prime, can the hatchback be adjusted for height of the opening? We already experienced the Hatchback almost getting hit by garage door in the open position and then someone presses close and well the door hit the Hatchback but we stopped it in time. I notice 2 bolts higher up on the opened Hatchback, are these to move to hydraulic shocks so Hatchback doesn't open higher?
Do you think the prime is better than the regular prius?
Hi! They are good in their own prospective ways. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other.
The powertrain in the Regular Prius and the Prius Prime Prime are not much different. The gas engine is identical. The gear ratios are slightly different because the Prime has a slightly more powerful MG2 motor. The main difference is that the Prime's traction battery has about 7 times more capacity, and it's lithium instead of NIMH. The main reason to drive a Prime is to save on fuel costs. To decide if a PHEV is right for you, either a Prius Prime or a Rav4 Prime, you should consider the following factors in the city where you live:
1. What does regular gasoline cost? Figure your cost per mile in Hybrid mode, based on 50 mpg for a regular Prius or 55 mpg for a Prime (the Prime has better aerodynamics, and the larger battery helps it recover more energy in regen mode).
2. What does electric power cost per kilowatt hour where you live? My Prius Prime can go about 35 miles on a 6.7 kw-hour charge. I pay 9.5¢/kw-hr if I charge between midnight and 06:00. That's 64¢ for 35 miles, or about 1.82¢/mile in EV mode. Gasoline where I live is $4.50/gallon, and the car gets 55mpg in ICE mode, which is 8.12¢/mile. So the car costs 4.5 times as much to drive on gasoline than it does electricity, where I live in California. In Honolulu, Hawaii, where electricity is 38¢/kw-hour and gasoline is $4.10, the difference is much less dramatic: 6.84¢/mile on electricity, 7.45¢/mile on gas. If you live somewhere that your electricity is less than 12¢/kw-hour, or if you have rooftop solar and can charge your car essentially for free, and gasoline is hella expensive, the Prius Prime is the way to go. But in Hawaii, or anywhere else that electric rates are steep, a Prius Prime might not save you enough on fuel to justify the higher purchase price, unless you plan to keep the car for 200,000 miles.
@@laura-ann.0726 thank you
I recently bought a 2018 Prius 2, however mine doesn't have those doors it's just solid plastic. Is there another location my hv filter could be at?
How can I service/replace the actual fan? Mine is crazy loud on one side intermittantly.
2017 Prius Three Touring (L4 1.8L 1798cc 110in³ ) - I don't think I have those battery filters AMD. Is that correct?
And my Prius doesn't have those vents like the video.
Question is there a filter for the ones under the seat? I believe it goes to a 12v converter used when in charging mode?
Hi! No filter for the one under the seat
I have a 2013 Toyota auris in the uk Corolla in us , mine doesn’t have a filter in the back foot well.
Have you had an issue where one or both fans are noisy.
You didn't tell how expensive the HV battery is. How expensive it is?
That depends on the model and year.
@@TheCarCareNut Google gave me an educated guess within 2200-2500 $. Just the part not the work costs involved.
That sounds about right for most of them. Labor is usually between 2-4 hours
Are they catching fire like the Chevy bolt??
Do you know what the part number is for an Lexus NX300h filter?
Don’t have it available at the moment. Go to parts.Lexus.com and enter your vin and search for G92DH
Can we just vacuum through the vents removing the rubber insulation worries me
First!
👍
I bought a used Prius prime 2017. I just realized its missing an vent airflow filter. Is that bad?
Yes, replace it.
My Prius is a 4 touring
What is the highest mileage you have seen on the original hybrid battery?
Around 400k miles on a camry hybrid cab. Many 300k+ Prius cabs and Prius V
Why didn’t you tell us about the extra filter at the bottom?
Hpw often do i need to service this battery???
Thank AMD for this another nice video ! Good information here ! By any chance, can you demonstrate how to clean the HV battery filter in a 2020 Hybrid Highlander ? Keep up the good work :)
Hi Eric! Thank you for watching! I’m working on the highlanders hoping to get the newest generation towards the end of February
@@TheCarCareNut Great thank you AMD :)
so what is the part number 2022 prius prime
Where are the fan filters on the 2017 Prius V?
How to clean the fan for the battery?
Wondering this too, toyota tried to charge me $600 for fan cleaning
Thanks, how about the same for a new Rav4 hybrid ? Thanks
Hi! I already have a video for the new RAV4 hybrid find it here th-cam.com/video/L1l-JNGMTEs/w-d-xo.html
How about 2020 Highlander Hybrid?
Hi David! Im hoping I’ll get to the highlander hybrid in late February or early March.
@@TheCarCareNut Thanks!
@@TheCarCareNut - What would be totally awesome is a Highlander Prime or a Sequoia Prime. Either one would have substantially more carrying capacity than a Rav4 Prime, which is actually a very small car: taller than a Corolla, but no longer or wider I think. I might trade my Prius Prime for a Rav4 Prime - if this danged supply shortage ever gets fixed - but if Toyota were offering the Highlander in a PHEV version, I'd much rather have a Highlander Prime than a Rav4 Prime. Since the Highlander is already available as a Hybrid, they've already got the E-CVT for it (P-710 I think, same as the Camry and Sequoia Hybrids), they would just need to do a full under-floor lithium battery, same as the Rav4 Prime and Tesla, and revise the ECM software as needed.
Can you do a how to change antifreeze in your toyota pease 🙏🙏🙏
Hi ,could you make video for lexus IS 300H 2017.I can't find any informations please.
Looking forward to Q&A Jan 30th.
Is there anyone having the same problem like my Prius one 2017? No sound is coming out from radio, Bluetooth. Screen works fine, just no sound in any format.
Toyota dealer probably charges $150 for that.
Wow barely any room to store any stuff like the old prius
hello sir, i have a question about my 2010 prius could you please contact me
Hi. Please post your question here and I’ll get back to you.
thanks Candycane and Car Care Nut!
Would this be similar for my 2005 prius?
No it’s different. I’ll eventually get a video out for the 2nd generation Prius
there's a vent or filter under the rear seat for my 2022 prius prime not sure what that is
Hi! There’s a vent under the seat which doesn’t have a filter
@@TheCarCareNut so it a battery vent too?
No it’s for the Battery charger
@@TheCarCareNut so it's air pushed out into the car? that's why it doesn't ned
The battery is high up because it's on 4 inch stilts underneath above the floor.
A plug-in battery was an afterthought for Toyota.
