Hi CL,
Greetings from sunny Singapore, hope everyone is doing ok during this covid period.
I've been trying to search for the traction battery fan cleaning thread but I couldn't find so, only for the IS and CT models, none for the GS.
So I decided to post some pictures for any members who might wish to DIY it themselves .
Apologies for the bad pictures and sloppy English. Unit is RHD with 208k.
There doesn't seem to be any rough mesh filter for the GS, unlike the IS. Maybe I missed it?
Hope this helps members here..

Tools needed.
1. Small flat screwdriver
2. Sharp nose plier.
3. 10mm spanner
Total time taken around 45mins


Impeller doesnt look too bad..


A close up of the ducts . white fcooling fan can be seen clamped on duct labelled \"4"

This is duct labelled \"4" removed , take note there is a attached filter element on the duct, in white .

Close up of filter element attached to duct

Pointed duct is cool cabin air extractor.. There is a attached but unremovable filter element at the end of it, where the grill of the subwoofer is , behind the seat headrest

This image is taken from the extractor duct with mentioned filter element , the end of this is attached to the cabin area where the seat head rest are.


This is after we peeled off all the trim , exposing the cooling ducting.
