Have you checked the 12 volt battery under the hood? If it's low it won't activate the hybrid system and the engine won't turn over at all.

SOURCE: Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2006

The hybrid battery is charged by the motor generator that is attached to the engine, and also charges during braking. Very sophistocated in how the hybrid battery gets charged.

That being said, you do NOT want to pull the battery out & attempt to charge it. There is no charger available anywhere to charge a hybrid battery. Toyota does not offer one, either. Hooking up a standard battery charger could cause disasterous results (it could explode). And, the possibility of getting shocked with over 300 volts DC is very good. When we have to handle hybrid batteries, we have to wear big, heavy rubber gloves so we do not get injured from the many contact points under the battery shell. This is not something you really want to fool with. The stakes are just too high. Sorry I was not giving you the info you are wanting, but, be safe & leave the battery alone.

SOURCE: does my 2006 highlander hybrid need a radio code

You are in luck.
There are no security codes in your radio.
Nothing to worry about when you change the 12 v battery.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance!

SOURCE: I just recently purchased a 2010 Toyota Highlander

Both toyota prius accelerator cases that I know of have been reported as flukes. the accellaration procces for the fuel and the hybrid models are completely different. plus the sticky pedal finding is a buy product from intense study from camry and the lexus version of camrys unattended excellaration probem, the sticky pedal will just not let of gas properly and also to be extremely rare not accelerating. Plus the hybrid versions are made in japan and if the did have the same pedal as a gas it would be made by denso the japanese pedal manufacturer, that has a heavier pedal it even has two more bolts compared to the american manufactured pedal that has been recalled. I personally build the highlander fuel version in Indiana It is an excellent vehicle i aswell own a 2010 that me an my family love youve got a great vehicle dont let abusers of a problem scare you of it.

2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. How did you check the approved from the working on a 2006 hybrid Highlander

Question edited for clarity add maker.
Question moved to model category.

Your question as written makes no sense. You made an earlier post 10 minutes before asking "How do check fuel pump is working".

Although badly written, (How do you check that the fuel pump is working?), I can answer that.

In the engine bay on the fuel rail there is a port that looks like a tyre stem called a Schrader Valve. You connect a fuel pressure gauge to it and test the fuel pressure when turning the engine over to start it. The pressure should be 44-50 PSI.

How do I fix my 2008 Toyota Highlander? It doesn't start and gives me the Check VSC System and Check Hybrid System warnings.

There are a few possible reasons why your 2008 Toyota Highlander won't start and has the "Check VSC System" and "Check Hybrid System" warnings:
Battery problem: The battery may not have enough strength or power to start the car. A qualified technician should test the battery to ensure it supplies the correct voltage and amperage.
Problem with the hybrid system: The hybrid system could be experiencing issues, such as a broken inverter or a weak battery.
Vehicle stability control (VSC) system issue: The VSC system could be experiencing problems, such as faulty sensors or brake system issues.
Fuel system issue: A vacuum could be created by the gas cap's improper seal.

Other issues: The vehicle may have issues such as a problem with the starter, the alternator, or the ignition switch.

It's best to have a professional technician diagnose the issue, and they will be able to identify the specific cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs.
If the vehicle has been sitting for several months, there might be other issues that could have arisen due to the lack of use. It's best to have a complete checkup and service before driving the vehicle again.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited. How to replace thermostat please?

Question edited for clarity and add a few spaces and capital letters. :>D
Question moved to model category.

That code is the opposite, it isn't REACHNG temperature it should. However, I had that code and changing the thermostat, got rid of the code.

Error code P0128 indicates that your engine coolant temperature is below the thermostat regulating temperature. This means that your Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has recognized that your engine is running cooler than it's supposed to.

p0128 Code ' KBB - Kelley Blue Book

Videos in the link Julie.

19" FACTORY TOYO TIRES SHREDDING

Toyo®, Exclusive Tire of 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Limited Grade
September 20, 2007– CYPRESS, CALIFORNIA – Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation announced today that the Toyo® Open Country® A20 is the exclusive tire of Toyota’s all-new 2008 Highlander Hybrid, Limited grade. In addition, the Open Country® A20 is original equipment on several other models of the 2008 Toyota Highlander, both hybrid and gas.

The Open Country A20 achieved exceptional low rolling resistance performance making it ideal for the hybrid model. The tires were also specifically designed to reduce noise and improve both wet and dry braking for added safety.

Based on the model and trim level of the Highlander, the Open Country A20 comes in two sizes: P245/65R17 105S and P245/55R19 103S.

Toyo manufactures and distributes a complete line of replacement tires for high performance cars, luxury vehicles, light trucks and SUVs as well as tires for commercial trucks, buses and off-road and construction applications.


I'm surprised if it's so good at braking that it has not ripped my entire tire tread off as technicians say the treat is separating well before its time!

Finding oil filter on 2007 toyota highlander hybrid

The filter access door is located under vehicle to the right near the front (about 24 inches forward of the oil drain plug). By removing two 10-mm hex nuts, you will see a cap that is removed using a ratchet extension. You will need a pair of Channel Lock pliers that is able to spread to at least 4 inches across to unscrew the filter housing. If it is similar to the 2008 you will need to keep the old housing and just replace the paper filter and "o" rings.

Good Luck
