2019 Toyota Highlander Service and Repair Manual

The 2019 Highlander was sold with three powertrains — the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS), the hybrid version of that V6 (2GR-FXS) under the Hybrid trims, and the 2.7L four-cylinder (1AR-FE) — and each carries its own torque values, service intervals and diagnostic thresholds. This is the Toyota service and repair manual written for that model year, so the figures you work to are the ones set for these engines rather than a number carried over from a neighboring year.

Known issues on the 2019 Highlander. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two of them land on the same component, the fuel pump: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. One covers certain 2018-2019 Highlanders, among other Toyota and Lexus vehicles; the other covers certain 2017-2019 Highlanders. The third, a Gulf States Toyota campaign, concerns a vehicle label — if the driver cannot read the label, they may unknowingly overload the vehicle. Owners have filed 600 complaints against the 2019 Highlander, and Toyota has issued 118 technical service bulletins for it.

Chasing a stall back to the fuel delivery side, servicing the hybrid drive on a Hybrid Limited or working a scheduled interval on the 2.7L four-cylinder, the procedure and the specification you follow are Toyota's own for this 2019 Highlander.
