Toyota Highlander

04152-yzza1

The 2012 Toyota Highlander's engine produces 187 hp @ 5800 rpm.

The curb weight of the 2007 Toyota Highlander-Hybrid is 4070 lbs..

An OEM trailer hitch from any of the major hitch manufacturers will line up perfectly with holes and/or bolts already installed in the frame of the vehicle. Just line up the hitch to bolt holes and "do it." With the proper tools it is a simple procedure.

Negative, you do not need to remove the wheel to change the S2000 parking light. I just changed mine (the small amber bulb, not the turn signal light) and it can be done by simply turning the wheel all the way to one side (I forget which) and popping apart the rubber housing. You can reach up inside and change the bulb in 5 minutes. (It's tricky; you've got to feel around...) But do not remove the wheel. I changed mine (on my 2004 S2000) with a technician at Howdy Honda in Austin, Tx.

Tricky, but here is how I did it, just last night.

First, I looked up the part on the Sylvania site. It said 7443 for the part number. This is incorrect. Luckily I pulled the bad one out. Turns out it is a 168 (same as side marker)...at least for the 2001 s2000.

Now for the removing and install....the only way i found to do this (and trust me, took me hours to find an easier way..and there is none i can see).. You must remove the front wheel first. Then there are black plastic clips that secure the inner fender lining. The caps are easy to remove, there is a slot in the side to slip a comon screw driver in, and pop the clip apart, and it slides out.

Using some force, you must separate the liner from the fender, atleast in the front. Hard to do as it is behind the lip of the nose in the front. I guess it is best to remove the entire fender lining, but i was able to pull it back far enough to get my hand in and twist the bulb socket until it came out (i had a headlight assembly from when i had a fender bender, so i knew to twist).

NOTE: the parking light is at the bottom in the amber area. The top light is the turn signal and it is the part number 7443. For 5 dollars a pair for the 7443 turn signal bulbs, i highly recommend replacing the turn signal while you have the fender apart, and the wheel off. Chances are - 2 weeks later, you will be replacing the turnsignal, and need to remove wheel and fender liner again....

March 7, 2010 Replacing front turn signal s2000. Replacing park lights s2000. I just replaced in my '03 s2k. Probably the same steps to replace the turn signal light as well. There is no need to take the wheel off, but it could make this job easier. The hardest part is the actual replacement, because you do have to bend out the wheel-well plastic lining just enough to stick your "small hand" through. OR you can just take the wheel-well plastic lining completely off, which i did not do, but you probably have to take the wheel off for that. To remove wheel well liner s2000 read the older answers at the top i guess.

1. Turn your front wheels in the direction of the light you are replacing. I replaced my front left, so i turned my wheels all the way to the left.

2. After i removed 5-6 plastic clips from the wheel-well liner, i bent it out of shape a little at the front. (There are more clips that hold the liner in place, including 2 screws, but i only needed to take off the first 5-6 in the front.)

3. Then carefully not to cut my hand/arm on the fender I felt out the far bottom park signal/side marker socket. The first socket/top one was my turn signal. I used my index finger and middle finger to twist the socket counterclockwise out of the housing, and then pulled out the housing to the outside of the wheel-well just enough so i could put the new light Sylvania 168 LL in there. For turn signals its a different light-bulb Sylvania 7443, but for parking lights/side markers to take the light out you just pull on it, and then push the new light into the socket. Turn signals you probably turn the light in the socket counter-clockwise. And clockwise to lock the light in the socket.

4. Putting the socket back in the housing i found it easier with the lights on, because it was dark. Just don't get shocked, i guess it is possible, but i didn't. Luckily it was getting dark outside when i was putting it back in the socket, so the actual parking/side marker light was shining enough for me to see where it was supposed to go.

5. Once i pushed it back in the housing i turned the socket clockwise to lock it in place. Then put all the clips back in the wheel-well plastic liner.

6. I wish this was easier.

The description of the symptom could indicatev a head gasket leak allowing the pressure of the combustion chamber to intrude into the cooling system and forcing the coolant out.

The 2011 Toyota Highlander is 6 ft. 3.2 in. (75.2 in.)1 one-touch power windows wide.

The 2007 Toyota Highlander-Hybrid's engine produces 268 hp @ 5600 rpm.

I as well have a 1989 Sentra that would do the same and the problem was that when the engine got warm, the oil started to leak into the distributor. The oil would mess up the ignition timing, hence the poor idle and non burn issues. Take apart your distributor and see if there is any oil in it. It is very easy to take off the car, 2-12mm bolts DO NOT turn the engine over while the distributor is out, and make sure it goes in the same way it came out (rotor pointing in the same direction). Good luck!

I tried for an hour to do this on my own before I gave up. So don't feel bad if you can't do this - I think the design leaves a lot to be desired. I ended up going to the dealer - and they had trouble too until the manager who had a Sienna came out and showed me.

This is what we did to make it as easy as possible

1. Remove the Headrest of the seat you are removing.

(Click release at base of headrest and pull up)

2. Move seat You are taking out all the way back

3. Move front seat all the way up

4. Use lever on side of seat to "Flip" seat up

5. Pull release strap (rear of seat you are taking out)

6. Lift seat out

** Note when putting the seat back in - put the small strip of rug

over the back tracks in the floor. The reason fo this is when you are

positioning the seat - it sometimes slips into the back tracks before

you get the front ones lined up and clicked in the front tracks. Man - this

is a PAIN when it happens. It gets stuck, cockeyed, and all messed up.

You have to go inside the seat to click two red buttons to release, and

it is a bear to do so..

Also, be sure to put the correct seat on the correct side. Yes, they do have sides as I found out the hard way. (Maybe on the leather seats only, but check all seats for the lever that folds them down, it should be on the side toward the door). Talk about PAIN. It's a real pain to take out a seat that is stuck because it's on the wrong side.

FOLLOW UP QUESTION:

Can you give details on the 2 red buttons used to release the back seats. I accidentally put the back side first and do not know how to release the seats.I would really appreciate a reply. Thank you.

It is in a recess on the right side of the oil pan. You will have to remove the under car engine cover to get to it. The oil filter is a canister type, there is a black plastic container that unscrews from the block, the filter is inside the container. It is not easy to remove. I don't have a tool to fit the end of the container, so I use a belt wrench instead. I don't remember where I got the wrench, but I found it by searching the net. You can buy the filter wrench from www.fcpgroton.com it's like $7.00

Serious internal engine damage will occur. Replace the belt every 90,000 miles.

Factory recommended at 90,000 miles.

it could be either a broken wire of just the bulb.

There is only one fuse box on a Toyota Camry.

look through the driver side tire and if it is not there then it is right under the truck on the same side under the engine

My truck is a 1995 Silverado but I would imagine they are the same. Open the golve box. On the outer left side you will find a cable attached. Slightly close the box and slide the clip forward to remove. You will then be able to squeeze the top of the glovebox a little and lower it down to remove.

A person can buy a used Toyota Highlander from several different places. Some of these places include Dave Edwards Toyota, Car Gurus, and Cars For Sale. A person can also search for a used Toyota Highlander at local used car dealerships.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_sensor Automotive applications A 3-wire oxygen sensor (spare part) suitable for use in a Volvo 240 or similar.

Automotive oxygen sensors, colloquially known as O2 sensors, make modern electronic fuel injection and emission control possible. They help determine, in real time, if the air fuel ratio of a combustion engine is rich or lean. Since oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust stream, they do not directly measure the air or the fuel entering the engine. But when information from oxygen sensors are coupled with information from other sources, they can be used to indirectly determine the air-to-fuel ratio. Closed-loop feedback-controlled fuel injection varies the fuel injector output according to real-time sensor data rather than operating with a predetermined (open-loop) fuel map. In addition to enabling electronic fuel injection to work efficiently, this emissions control technique can reduce the amounts of both unburnt fuel and oxides of nitrogen from entering the atmosphere. Unburnt fuel is pollution in the form of air-borne hydrocarbons, while oxides of nitrogen (NOx gases) are a result of combustion chamber tempuratures exceeding 2000 deg. F due to excess air in the fuel mixture and contribute to smog and acid rain. Volvo was the first automobile manufacturer to employ this technology in the late 1970s, along with the 3-way catalyst used in the catalytic converter. Modern spark-ignited combustion engines use oxygen sensors and catalytic converters as part of an attempt by governments working with automakers to reduce exhaust emissions. Information on oxygen concentration is sent to the engine management computer or ECU, which adjusts the amount of fuel injected into the engine to compensate for excess air or excess fuel. The ECU attempts to maintain, on average, a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio by interpreting the information it gains from the oxygen sensor. The primary goal is to lower the levels of certain by-products in the exhaust stream, namely hydrocarbons (which are released when the fuel is not burnt (a misfire), carbon monoxide (which is the result of running rich) and NOx (which dominate when the mixture is lean). Failure of these sensors, either through normal aging, the use of leaded fuels, or fuel contaminated with silicones or silicates, for example, can lead to damage of an automobile's catalytic converter and expensive repairs. Tampering with or modifying the signal that the oxygen sensor sends to the engine computer can be detrimental to emissions control and can even damage the vehicle. When the engine is under low-load conditions (such as when accelerating very gently, or maintaining a constant speed), it is operating in "closed-loop mode." This refers to a feedback loop between the ECU and the oxygen sensor(s) in which the ECU adjusts the quantity of fuel and expects to see a resulting change in the response of the oxygen sensor. This loop forces the engine to operate both slightly lean and slightly rich on successive loops, as it attempts to maintain a stoichiometric ratio on average. If modifications cause the engine to run moderately lean, there will be a slight increase in fuel economy, sometimes at the expense of increased NOx emissions, slightly higher exhaust gas temperatures, and eventual misfires at ultra-lean air-to-fuel ratios. If modifications cause the engine to run rich, then there will be a slight increase in power, but at the risk of decreased fuel economy, much higher exhaust gas temperatures, an increase in unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust, and overheating the catalytic converter. Long-term operation at very rich mixtures can cause catastrophic failure of the catalytic converter (see backfire). The ECU also controls the spark engine timing along with the fuel injector pulse width, so modifications which alter the engine to operate either too lean or too rich may result in inefficient fuel consumption whenever fuel is ignited too soon or too late in the combustion cycle. When an internal combustion engine is under high load (e.g. wide open throttle), the output of the oxygen sensor is ignored, and the ECU automatically enriches the mixture to protect the engine. Any changes in the sensor output will be ignored in this open-loop state, as are changes from the air flow meter, which might otherwise lower engine performance due to the mixture being too rich or too lean, and increase the risk of engine damage due to detonation if the mixture is too lean.
