tulegit: The maf sensor is located on top of the air filter housing. It is approximately l.5 x 1.5 inches, and is attached to a wiring connector. Carefully remove the connector, and the two screws holding the sensor. Lift the sensor straight up, being 'very' careful not to touch the housing [the sensors are very costly]. The sensor leads look like a large safety pin with a thermometer bulb on the end. You may see an oily contamination on the bulb, which can be removed by lightly spraying with the electronic parts cleaner. Do not touch the bulb or wires. The cleaner will self-dry almost immediately. Carefully reinstall. The parts cleaner is available available at any electronics parts store. Radio Shack carries a quick dry cleaner made by CRC. The K&N filters are great . . . just clean carefully, and re-oil 'lightly'. Good luck! Sirfile |

I just recently purchased a 2004 Toyota Highlander (non-limited) and the dealer told me that CD changers were not an option on the non-limited (only limited model). Is this correct? Can they order one and install it? I would like to know if I have any options to pursue on this matter. Thanks for your help. |

Do I have a problem with my cruise control? My Highlander is 3 weeks old and I have approximately 3000 miles on the vehicle. When the vehicle is in cruise control at 65 to 70 MPH on interstate highways,there appears to be excessive downshifting when going up hills. I do not mean just 1 downshift, but a series of downshifts and upshifts while the vehicle is attempting to maintain the set speed. The vehicle downshifts, accelerates to the set speed, upshifts when it reaches the set speed then, not more than a minute or so later, downshifts again and goes through the cycle again until the vehicle reaches the top. I've counted up to 6 downshifts on a hill no longer than 1/2 mile. Every hill that I've encountered along Interstates 81 in PA, 84 from PA to MA, 70 and 79 through MD and WV. THIS VEHICLE IS BEATING ME TO DEATH WITH DOWNSHIFTING AND UPSHIFTING. I can take the vehicle out of OD when going up a hill to eliminate the problem, but then I have to remember to put the vehicle back in to OD when I reach the crest of the hill. This is not acceptable to me. I can also eliminate the problem by not using the cruise control. This also is not acceptable. When not using the cruise control, the vehicle smoothly climbs the hill with little or no pressure on the gas pedal. Is this normal or is the computer calling for the upshift too soon?

Replying to: bpeckrul (Jun 11, 2004 11:33 am) In PA the terrain is hilly, and the use of the CC is not recommended in such (I don't know for sure if this is written in the manual or not). But my answer is: it sounds like a normal behavior for the modern cruise control. I'm sure somebody will correct me, if my answer is wrong. |
