#74 of 83 Re: Shift to P message on HH that wont start [jwelshofer] by condor2007 Jul 15, 2009 (1:15 pm)
Replying to: jwelshofer (May 20, 2008 3:42 am) I am also frustrated. My 2007 HH has failed to start 3 times in last 7 months and everytime the dealer claims that the battery was discharged probably due to my fault and all they did was charge the battery and it starts again. I know that I did not leave any lights ON. It is my wife's car and she is also terrified of driving the car now, because she feels that she can be stranded anywhere at anytime. I am so sorry that she chose the HH. Toyota is not a very responsive company to customer problems, very unlike for a Japanese company. Maybe I will send a letter to Nagoya directly.

Replying to: condor2007 (Jul 15, 2009 1:15 pm) I would bet my last dollar that a door was left adjar. Easy to do, and the interior light will burn until the battery dies.   You could also disconnect the negative battery cable and then connect an ammeter in series to see if you have a current draw, but then you would be in the position of having to reset your idle solenoid.   Although I have not experienced this battery failure on my 07 with 102,000 miles, I do carry one of those battery jump boxes in the back. Just in case. Replies to this message: wwest (Jul 25, 2009 5:55 am) rodonnell (Jul 26, 2009 7:25 am) wwest (Jul 30, 2009 6:38 am)

Replying to: rodonnell (Jul 23, 2009 8:21 pm) BDW vehicle typically do not have an idle solenoid. Replies to this message: rodonnell (Jul 26, 2009 7:25 am) wwest (Jul 30, 2009 6:38 am)

Replying to: wwest (Jul 25, 2009 5:55 am) Actually they do. the idle solenoid resetting procedure is discussed under a TSB from toyota. I dont have the number at the moment, but will post it once I find it. Replies to this message: wwest (Jul 30, 2009 6:38 am)

Replying to: rodonnell (Jul 26, 2009 7:25 am) Sorry, meant DBW, E-gas, E-throttle. Those systems have a servomotor with dual/redundent feedback to position the throttle butterfly valve throughout its full range.
#80 of 83 ceiling light won't go off by jhoffman18 Oct 18, 2009 (11:34 am)
My son shut the rear door manually after I pushed the button to close it. It's been 45 minutes, all the doors are closed and the ceiling light will not go off (I suspect it thinks the rear door is still open (which it isn't)). Of course it's Sunday and no dealers are open. Suggestions? Replies to this message: bdyment (Oct 19, 2009 3:43 am)

Replying to: jhoffman18 (Oct 18, 2009 11:34 am) Someone probably moved the light switch on the ceiling light to the on position. There should be three positions--off--on all the time and on when the doors are opened. Move the switch to the last position and this should correct the problem.
#82 of 83 replacing std 08HH battery with? by twnd111 Oct 21, 2009 (2:05 pm)
Does anyone have any suggestions for replacing the standard battery on the 08 HH? I have had it with someone forgetting to shut the tailgate all the way for just a short while and seeing my battery die.... I have read that the answer is to just get a larger capacity battery. Which one is best? Replies to this message: monte8 (Oct 24, 2009 8:54 pm)

Replying to: twnd111 (Oct 21, 2009 2:05 pm) "Which one is best?"   Take a look at the Nov. 2009 issue of Consumer Reports, pp. 52-55.   Possibly the Interstate MTP-24.
