how long have u had the pod filter on for??? u may need to wait a while for the ecu to adjust....if its been doing this for a long time.....then perhaps the pod filter maybe sucking too much heat??

i was thinking that it may be the heat causing it as its only sitting in the bottom half of the filter box until i get the chance to make either a heat shield or extend it to a full cold air in. Ive had the car for just under 2 months so im only new to modden toyotas. The pod has been on there for about a month and the ecu has adjusted to my style of driving so i asume that it would had done the same with the pod. But ill try and get a shield made up and see how that goes, not that the fan is a problem but its just a pain in the **** everytime ya get out of the car ya legs get blasted with hot air. cheers.

You have the aircon runnin at all???

I'd recommend resetting the ECU... let it renew the AFM and see if it fixes the problem.

Thermostat not working properly?? What's the temp inside the car mate? Should be halfway once she's all warm.

I'd be surprised if the new air filter was the cause for fan staying on...

replacing the original filter will quickly eliminate the pod as the cause, for free..

Yeah temp on the dash is normal no dramas there. How do you rest the ECU? give me a commo or falcon i can do it but as i said new to the toyotas but learning slowly but surely.

ecu re-set procedure is the same as u know how on commo... they all work the same way

and will re-learn any variation to circumstance over time anyway...

but a re-set will not fix your fan allways on prob...

that will be a faulty sensor sending power to the relay or fan motor

deffinetely not POD related... or from sucking some warm air...

and that can be confirmed for free, by putting the original filter back...say 10 mins max.

ok cheers if that was the case if i either took the relay out or disconnected the sensor would that give me the defenate answer? also the fan is a hydrolic 1 (however thats spelt) so does that run on some sort of vavle controlled by like an actuator or?? just a thought caise any electric fan pull out relay fan stops so just wondering if thats the same case with these.

ok you are right... I presumed your fan was electric

sorry I don't know what triggers the hydraulic fan drive...

others may know...

but I still very much doubt it will be pod related...

with engine warmed up... stop then feel with hand your radiator core

it should be uniformly warm... a cold area indicates blocked radiator tubes... this will result in fan running , I had that same experience.

Hey..this is an old thread but how did you get on with the problem of the hydraulic fan stuck on. Its now happening to my 1995 Camry V6 and it sounds like an aircraft engine. The fan increases speed with engine revs and the engine is running normal temp. I have no overheat.

      200 series won’t shift past 4th gear

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt.

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.
