Some elusive Yaris tech specs
Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone,
I'm new to posting to these forums but I've been lurking here for quite some time. I've learned a lot about Toyota's cutest car from here but there are a few technical questions that don't appear to be talked about all that often so I thought I'd ask: 1. Does the Yaris have a secondary fan for the ac condenser or just one radiator fan? I ask this because I've been told that the Yaris has a hot-running engine. Normally running between 200F to 220F while most other Toyota engines run around 190F to 200F. If so, do these higher temperatures mean possible premature head gasket failure and does the single fan design(if it IS single fan) affect AC performance? 2. At what temperature does the red high coolant temperature light come on and at what temperature does it start blinking? Is a scan gauge a good idea for a Yaris? I hope these questions aren't too ridiculous & I appreciate any responses. |

The Yaris only has one fan. When the AC compressor is running the fan runs regardless of if it needs to for cooling the engine coolant.
The coolant "cold' light turns off when the coolant reaches 131 F. The coolant "Hot" light flashes when the coolant reaches 242.6 F The coolant "Hot" light turns on solid when the coolant reaches 248 F A scangauge is a handy thing, as you can watch the actual temperature of the coolant with it.

There is only one fan, but it seems to be a bigger one on AC equipped cars.
Last summer was quite hot (40°C, rare here), the engine was weakened by the high intake temperature (up to 65°C), but I've never ever seen the red light. |
