hello all, is there an air cleaner/filter in '99 Pajerio IO? Diagrams doesn't show it.... When I turn blower on full power, it does sound like there are some leaves, rocks, and other debris in the system.

Cabin filter

There isn't one, on my car at least. If you remove the glove box, you will find behind it a small trap (about 10cm x 3cm) that you can open with a small flat screwdriver. This does give you a small access to the top of the fan, it might be enough to clean the area.

Happy io

yep, you are right, I checked

yep, you are right, I checked it myself and there is no cabin filter... it looks like the hole behind the glove box could accomodate a filter, but there is no original part you can fit in. anyway, I cleaned up the blower, it is better now.  However, heater resistor failed (blower doesn't work on level 1 and 2, it just failed on 3 as well), assume that's because of the initial blockage of the blower.

From your name, I will be guessing that you are not from Australia ? I have some spare if you need and are in Australia :)

Happy io

Apparently there is a filter - or a place for one.

Well - ADC42503 does NOT fit.

After driving around for years without a cabin filter, I decided to fit one - the filters in two halves the perfect size to fit into the opening shown - but too long to slide sideways, as shown, and too long for the cap to fit over the opening.

I did a little more digging.

Parts catalogs for the Japanese market vehicles (mine is used JDM) don't show the cabin filter, but I was able to find it in the catalogs for the European market models, and the ADC42503 does cross reference to the OEM part number - so the reason it doesn't fit is most likely some difference in between the two models.
