Vehicle
Toyota Grand Highlander
The longer three-row SUV above the Highlander, sharing its TNGA-K platform and powertrains but not its bodyshell or its rear suspension, so it is a separate car rather than a stretched one. Highlander material covers the engines and the hybrid system; body, rear axle and third-row electrics are its own. The Hybrid MAX is the one to identify first — it pairs the 2.4 turbo with a six-speed automatic and a rear motor, where the ordinary hybrid uses an e-CVT, so the two behave differently enough that a driveability complaint means different things on each.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
