Today we are getting our CR-Z rebuild project off the ground with a pretty crucial fix - keeping the hybrid battery system functioning properly. We were getting lots of error lights from different systems as well as some weird revving behaviour. If you are having issues with your IMA system and seeing the same check engine codes we did, this fan might be the fix. Once the fan was swapped, and the fuse replaced, our IMA system started working and charging again, and we were able to go for the first real test drive!
If you need to order a replacement part, search up the part number 1J810-RTW-003 from Honda directly, or use sites like RockAuto to find aftermarket brand replacements like the PM9503 from Continental that we used.
