Symptoms Highlander Hybrid owners report
- Reduced power on grades and under load.
- The engine running at stops where it used to shut off.
- City fuel economy dropping faster than freeway economy.
- A hybrid system warning light.
- Fan noise from the second-row area.
Keep the cooling intake clear
Something you can do today, for nothing
The pack draws cabin air from a vent in the second-row area. Keep cargo and car seats from pressing against it, and vacuum that area if you carry pets. Restricted airflow means a hotter pack.
Repair or replace
- A few weak modules with the rest grouped tightly: module-level repair.
- A widening spread across the 30: replacement.
- We measure every module and show you the numbers before recommending either.
- The 12V battery is tested first, and the vehicle is road tested under load rather than at idle.
