You can scan the car possibly if you can.. lots of things can cause it.. wiring issues or even a faulty brainbox

Its possible if the current rather than cutting a fuse went straight to the ECU.. that's why it's good to replace a cut fuse rather than using a wire to tie it round.. try and scan to be sure and also text me on What s App 0.812.0306356

I understand that this is a frustrating situation for you. It sounds like the incorrect connection of the battery by the mechanic may have caused some damage to your 2006 Highlander, resulting in it being limited to speeds of 20 mph or less.

Here are some possible explanations for what could be happening:

Blown fuse: If the spark was significant, it could have blown a fuse related to the engine management system, limiting the power output and speed.
Damaged electrical components: The incorrect connection could have damaged other electrical components involved in engine ignition or fuel delivery, causing performance issues.
Computer glitches: The spark might have caused temporary glitches in the engine control unit (ECU), which could be limiting engine performance to prevent further damage.
It's important to not drive the car any further until you have it properly diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic. Taking it on the road in its current state could cause further damage, potentially leading to more expensive repairs.

Here are some recommendations:

Contact a reliable mechanic: Explain the situation and symptoms to them, and schedule an appointment for diagnosis and repair. Ask them if they have experience working on Highlanders, preferably with knowledge of the potential consequences of incorrect battery connection.
Do not attempt to diagnose or repair the car yourself: Unless you have the necessary knowledge and skills, working on car electrical systems can be dangerous and could make the problem worse.
Get a battery check: Even if the battery wasn't the root cause of the issue, it's a good idea to have it checked after being connected incorrectly.
I hope this information helps! Remember, getting a proper diagnosis and repair from a qualified mechanic is crucial to resolving the issue and preventing further damage to your Highlander.
