Doesn t start

2013 Highlander Hybrid. I push the button to start the car, with foot on brake, and the dash lights come on but the system doesn't seem to recognize that the car is in park. A default screen pops up saying be sure car in in park, which of course it is. This happens mostly in the morning but has also happened at other times of the day. What is wrong?

Check the 12 volt auxiliary battery, a low /discharged battery will shut the system down, there has to be 11.8 volts minimum, if less replace the battery.

Sounds like a fuse for the DC-DC convertor to battery circut or the DC-DC convertor. Check the fuses under the hood but DO NOT attempt to fix the convertor yourself because there are LETHAL amouts of voltage in the hybrid drive system.

SOURCE: Shifter stuck in park!

you have to take off the plastic all around the gear shifter. You can wedge a screw driver carefully around the edges and pry the plastic off then there is a screw on the shifter take that off and slide the top off and then take off the rubber until the whole shifter is exposed then you will see in the cavity on the right side a little metal round tab on a spring that you have to push in with a screw driver and it will release the shifter. Good luck

SOURCE: 04 Corolla "BRAKE" light on dash--comes on occasionally??

I wouldn't drive it... when your brake light comes on, it means there's a serious fault with your brakes. They may not engage when you brake and there won't be any further warning other than the brake light

SOURCE: 2009 Altima Hybrid shutdown

I just had the same problem with my 2009 Nissan Hybrid, this happened once in the parking lot and once on the street, I took the car to the dealer Friday October 16, and they found nothing wrong.
It is a dangerous situation, especially if it happened on the freway at high speed.

SOURCE: 2003 Chrysler Sebring won't start

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

2006 Toyota Hybrid Highlander, Everything sounding and driving fine until pulled up to a drive thru line with foot still on brake, car seemed to start "missing" (old school) running rough, then a loud

this fan noise may be the coolant fan doing the job of cooling the radiator when there is no air flow through the radiator as in standing in a line or at lights. IN a drive through line you would have the window down and so the noise came to your attention when the fan cut in. However have it checked out by an accredited repair shop to put your mind at rest.

Service advance trac light on & car won't start

Similar issue on my 2013 taurus. Died on me one day and wouldn't even crank. Advancetrac Service, 911 assist unavailable, sometimes braking system faults and just about every light on the dash illuminated. No codes. The problem was the Run/Start relay (Start/Run??). Swapped it with the windshield wiper relay to verify. Car started but the wipers didn't work. Replaced the Relay for $25 from AutoZone.

How do i take 2003 highlander out of park when the engine doesn't start?

Hi! If you turn on the ignition and depress the brake pedal, the shifter should move whether the engine is started or not. If it does not release, have someone check to see if the brake lights work. If the brake lights do not work, you will likely not be able to move the shifter. If they do not, check the STOP fuse and see if it is blown. If you have NO power anywhere (no dash lights, etc) you can remove the small cover near the shifter (usually about10mm square) and depress the white button underneath. The shifter should come out of park at that point.

There are quite a few things that can cause this light to turn on and yes you are right it has something to do with the hybrid system, unfortunately this going to require that a suitable diagnostic scantool be connected that can communicate with all the onboard computers, this will retrieve any diagnostic codes that are stored, a technician can then start to diagnose the system based on the trouble code information.
