Hello. Welcome to FixYa. Please allow us to assist you.

You have one of two possible problems.

1) The retainer nut for the temperature control is loose

2) A wire is broken from the temperature control sub-circuit board to the main circuit board.

If the retainer nut is not loose, the unit can be repaired. This will entail removal of the heater control from the dash, disassembling it, identifying the broken wire, and resoldering the broken wire back in place.

If you are not skilled in disassembling the dash and the heater control, and not skilled in soldering, this job is best left to a professional. The alternative ti repairing the broken wire is costly. The replacement control is roughly 900 dollars, plus installation. A qualified technician can repair your control in less than 2 hours.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to get back to me.

Thanks for choosing FixYa today.

Where is the spark plugs located for the 2002 4 cylinder highlander located. Plan on replacement.

First, remove the no. 1 engine cover. Locate the ignition coils, these will be squarish-looking packs with spark plug wires (4 of them) coming out. The wires should be going to the spark plugs, which are on the front and back side of the engine.
Grab the ignition coils or spark plug wires by the thick plastic piece at the end of the wire. Squeeze the end and turn it to release it from the spark plug. Pull back to remove the plug from the engine.
Slide the spark plug socket over the spark plug. The most common size of spark plug socket used on a Toyota Highlander is 16mm. Turn the socket to the left to unscrew and remove the spark plug from the cylinder well.

2002 Toyota Highlander 2WD, 4 cylinder

Welcome to FixYa. I'll be glad to help you out.

Code P-1150 indicates an Air-Fuel sensor range/performance issue.

The air fuel sensor is similar to an oxygen sensor, but it does a different job.

Without in-depth analysis on a scan tool that can read the output of the A/F sensor, it is hard to tell you exactly what is happening, but prior experience indicates that you probably need to replace the A/F sensor.

You would do well to purchase a genuine Toyota A/F sensor, as the cheaper 'aftermarket' units do not perform well; your check engine light may remain on after you replace the sensor with an aftermarket

Thanks for choosing FixYa for advice.

Intermittent rough idle on 2002 toyota highlander

before you do this I would get some wooden qtips - the long ones auto detailers use. take off the air filtrer assembly and spray carb cleaner into the air\fuel intake and use the qtip to wipe out the inside of the intake. I had the same problem with my highlander a year ago and this fixed the problem.
