2003 Toyota Highlander Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$34.99 USD
Unit price
Toyota built the 2003 Highlander around two very different powerplants, the 2.4L four-cylinder (2AZ-FE) and the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE), and this factory service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and trim in front of you, so every specification and service sequence you follow is the one Toyota wrote for that combination rather than a near-enough figure carried over from an adjacent Highlander year.

Known issues on the 2003 Highlander. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the wheels: on sport utility vehicles equipped with five factory alloy wheels (model 6934 and 6936), factory LLAT and the port-installed WR4 four alloy wheel upgrade, the recall condition arises if the spare tire/wheel is installed on the vehicle using the wheel nuts provided for the upgrade. The second covers the door latches, specifically the child protection lock (CPL) system fitted to both rear side doors: when an operator closes the door very hard with the CPL lever set to lock, that condition could allow the door to be opened from the inside. Owners have filed 316 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 66 technical service bulletins.
Whether you are torquing wheel nuts after a tire swap, inspecting a rear door latch, or working through scheduled maintenance on either engine, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the correct figure for your specific 2003 Highlander.
