Toyota Highlander 2003 Transmission Problem by tnthommie(m): 3:51pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
Hello car gurus in the house. I have a problem with my Toyota Highlander 2003 SUV. Yesterday I was travelling with it and I stopped at a police check point then when I was cleared I hit the gas pedal and I got no response, I looked at the dashboard and I saw the AT OIL TEMP Indicator was on, I hit the gas pedal again and I got a very weak response. The acceleration was very slow, I located a safe place and parked then I checked the engine. I perceived a burnt odour from the engine. I gauged the gear oil and engine oil and both were not running short. I tried moving the car again and it bluntly refused to move when I put the gear in drive and reverse. I had to tow the car to the nearest mechanic in the town. Please what could be the cause of such problem. lalasticlala please help a brother in need. |

You have toasted your transmission, and will require a replacement. The ATF temp indicator must have been on a while before you noticed. Reason? Something went wrong with either the cooling line or the torque converter line, compromising atf cooling. Before the Police stop, did you notice anything abnormal? |

Kashif: Thanks for your response. Before i was stopped, i didnt notice anything abnormal. The movement was okay. |

you must have lost some transmission fluid at some point. |

GAZZUZZ: Does it mean i need to top the transmission fluid to settle the issue? |

tnthommie: I wish it was that easy, but at this stage there's no harm in checking for leaks and topping up fluid with Type IV oil |

tnthommie: But you said the atf (and engine oil) level was normal when this happened? |
Re: Toyota Highlander 2003 Transmission Problem by tnthommie(m): 7:12am On Feb 04, 2016 |
Kashif: yes it was. |

Which type of ATF did you use to service your transmission before your trip? Abro, seahorse or type IV? Please be sincere. |
Re: Toyota Highlander 2003 Transmission Problem by Kashif(m): 9:17am On Feb 04, 2016 |
boldx: Irrelevant question. Should he 'service' his transmission before travelling? It is amusing when peeps keep referring to atf drain and refill as transmission servicing. |
Re: Toyota Highlander 2003 Transmission Problem by Kashif(m): 9:21am On Feb 04, 2016 |
tnthommie: Then lets rule out aft loss. There was a cooling failure. If you were short on atf, the shifts will be delayed, and will most likely slip. |

thanks to you all for your contributions, the transmission system got ruined like Kashif said in his first comment, I called a guy that used some device to scan the car and the fault was detected. I was able to buy another transmission system today and it will be fixed. I just hope it works well. Will keep you guys posted.. Ciao.

Ensure the problem that ruined the first one is corrected before installing this one. It is well. |

Kashif: Allright bro, I will see to that. |
