BTW, J1000 - love your videos!

Thanks. I have the same problem in the winter when OAT is around 60-70. Just takes longer for the fan clutch to engage. But once engaged, it doesn't seem to disengage during driving, until having been parked for a while. Are there any other members who live in AZ perhaps who can chime in on...

Thanks for the input. Will clean the coolers and radiator fins later this week. Will also test the fan clutch as you suggested. when the engine is in operating temps, holding the RPM at steady 3,000 for a long while would cause the fan clutch to disengage after coming on for a while, wouldn’t...

So any other thoughts on why the fan clutch wouldn’t disengage? I asked another local guy who has an 05 and his truck doesn’t do this. I know the heat is crazy here.

Thanks for posting a wealth of info in one of your previous posts. I said I might get a BT ELM327 ODBII adapter to monitor temps since the old laptop I run Tech Stream on has to be plugged in due to almost dead battery. Came to find out later that the one I ordered would not work with IOS, but...

Toyota OEM - silver color with the other side of the mating surface to the pulley bracket being black (not blue that is talked a lot about on this forum). Same as the Lexus OEM taken out. Part number 16210-50102.

A quick update - as part of timing belt and water pump replacement, I had another Toyota OEM fan clutch and a new AISIN fan pulley bracket put in, along with new belts, idlers, tensioners, thermostat, etc. Fan still gets stuck and does not disengage. Still sounds like a dump truck or jet...

Never mind. You are right - done through the ODO. I just remembered the original head unit had reset function. Thanks.

I have an Android 11 unit and everything works fine (AC, passenger airbag light, sound, wireless CarPlay, etc.). Can someone tell me though how and where to reset the maintenance required light from this unit, if you’ve done it? Thanks.

My seller worked with me via video chat and concluded that there was something wrong with the Canbus that came with the Android 11 unit. So they sent another one with all the wiring harnesses again. I was able to get this one working right away - AC and all. I have to sort out the radio - it...

First one after the cool morning 12-mile commute today just pulled into the garage at work. I rolled the DS front window down to get a better recording of the roar as I went above 2000 rpm while parked. Second one leaving work late afternoon a few minutes after starting driving. No roaring...

Let us know how your Android 11 install goes when you get it. I still can’t get the AC on mine working. Password is 8888 to get into Factory Settings in Settings to select car for canbus.

The only reasons I mentioned several issues are because: 1. A locked up fan clutch is supposedly adversely affects mpg and engine power 2. Someone in a different thread had mentioned that after changing his fan clutch, his perceived transmission issues were gone too. I wanted to post about the...

Fan clutch is OEM from the dealer. Before cold start, spinning the fan with my hand gets it to spin 1.5-2 blades. Cold start then idle a couple of minutes then shut off. Spin it with my hand again, about the same maybe just a tad looser about 2 blades turn.

The cold start is normal. About 1400 rpm with fan coming on loud as it should. Fan speed reduces after 30 seconds or so. Idling a minute or two, rpm drops to 800 in Park. I get the abnormal roar after I drive it for a few minutes.
