There is a relay in the fuse box under the hood near the battery, it's marked MG/CL it controls the compressor clutch.

Open the remotes up...Are the boards the same...?

It is a camshat timing need to gat it right

dont quote me but i think you may need a new dash unit .its all electronic and its thrown a wobbly

I agree with Theo. Personal expirence with same issue after countless attempts to re enact symptoms and being stuck at the wrongest time possible...the issue was not just I S C valve but also in throttle body passages which isc is mounted at . Excessive carbon build up will not allow pintle of valve to seat properly and pending on temperature to much air and not enough fuel equals bad running condition. The valve extracts out and inward as demanded by ECM. So it's like flipping a coin sometimes it seats properly other times it don't. .. hence your interment problems. Replacing isc alone won't completly take care of problem without body passages cleaned cause your only fixing half of your problem. Here's a discription of your system

I have a suggestion. Pull the fuel pump relay out, then wire a 10 amp DC ammeter in series with the fuel pump, using the connections that used to be through the fuel pump. Start the engine, and watch the fuel pump current. Does the current level fall off, indicating the fuel pump is losing pressure, and therefore failing.

Hi,normaly if the stem cills are worn it would smoke on start up,as when the engine is switched off oil will pass the cill and couse a puff of smoke untill the oil burns off,it could be that the head gasket has a falt where oil leaks strate into one of the cylinders,or maybe the where the car had not been started for awhile the piston rings might have frosen a bit,you could try a engine flush and see if that helps,in the past I have used a aditive called slick-50 which gave good resalts,remeber as I have not seen the car this is all food for thought,hope this was some help,hope you sort it.

yes. switch to synthethic. you will feel a huge difference in performance, epecially at take off. you will also get longer life out of the engine. you can never go wrong with synthetic

The fuse for the ABS in a 2002 Highlander is in the black plastic covered box under the hood. If you take the fuse out, the ABS warning light and the emergency brake warning light will illuminate on your dashboard. The brakes will work as if you never had ABS, and the car will chime when you first start off if the emergency brakes are on.

Mine went twice in 600,000 km with the characteristic last gasp sound. Check that your fuse for the horn is ok (in plastic covered fuse block under the hood). If it's blown, replacing it may not work as failed horns can act as a short. Then, I would suggest that you go to a dealer parts department to ask about their OEM horns for your Highlander and to get them to print out the horn placement diagram for the vehicle. You'll see that you have 2 (or even 3) horns. I seem to recall that Toyota wanted over $100 for their OEM horns each. In any case, it was too much. I went to an auto parts store (Napa?) and picked up an inexpensive dual tone universal horn. Under the hood, the collision sensors are close by so best to disconnect the battery to be safe. Now, I replaced the horn on the drivers side -- it's tight to get in there, but you can do it. Connect up the single horn wire (the horn's negative is connected through the mounting hardware). I also disconnected and insulated the wire to the horn in front of the rad (old failed horns can can act as a short). Assuming that your fuse is good, reconnect the battery (and set up your clock and radio stations) and, hopefully, you'll be good to go.

Reconnect all the OEM wiring as it was from the factory is the only solution. This truck comes with a factory security system, why was another installed?

Because it needs new shock absorbers?

Usually fairly straightforward and intuitive once the interior trim panel has been removed from the tailgate. Often that is the most difficult part, though the nut retaining the wiper arm is often seized.

Visit the on-line store, know as reliable-store, they have the repair manuals. I'm sure you will get the solution of your problem. TOYOTA HIGHLANDER 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 SERVICE REPAIR MANUAL

You will be needing to take the radio head out of the dashboard and take it all apart to remove the CD's. Unless you are an expert here, wisdom will say you may not be able to get it to ever work again. Fortunately, there are places advertising on the computer that can fix these for you. I would try one out. I have, and it worked for me. God bless your efforts.

Could be leak on roof or windshield.
