Could be any of a host of problems. I'll list as many as I can think of, off the top, and even include some glaringly obvious ones:
Out of gas. Dead battery. Does it try to spin over? If it is the battery, have the alternator tested. sometimes, it dies, and takes the battery with it. Others, a battery can die, and kill the alternator at the same time Fouled spark plugs. Battery and alternator good, but it doesn't spin? It's the starter.
Clogged or blocked fuel line, especially the filters.
Bad control computer or ignition system; Distributor, points, condenser, or coil.
Basically, any car starting problem boils down to fuel or spark. If the plugs don't spark, they can't ignite the fuel. If fuel isn't getting in, all the spark in the world won't help. Except for the starter. If it won't turn over, neither spark nor fuel help.

SOURCE: finding oil filter on 2007 toyota highlander hybrid

The filter access door is located under vehicle to the right near the front (about 24 inches forward of the oil drain plug). By removing two 10-mm hex nuts, you will see a cap that is removed using a ratchet extension. You will need a pair of Channel Lock pliers that is able to spread to at least 4 inches across to unscrew the filter housing. If it is similar to the 2008 you will need to keep the old housing and just replace the paper filter and "o" rings.

Good Luck

SOURCE: Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2006

The hybrid battery is charged by the motor generator that is attached to the engine, and also charges during braking. Very sophistocated in how the hybrid battery gets charged.

That being said, you do NOT want to pull the battery out & attempt to charge it. There is no charger available anywhere to charge a hybrid battery. Toyota does not offer one, either. Hooking up a standard battery charger could cause disasterous results (it could explode). And, the possibility of getting shocked with over 300 volts DC is very good. When we have to handle hybrid batteries, we have to wear big, heavy rubber gloves so we do not get injured from the many contact points under the battery shell. This is not something you really want to fool with. The stakes are just too high. Sorry I was not giving you the info you are wanting, but, be safe & leave the battery alone.

SOURCE: ECT snow feature Toyota Highlander 2005

Turn vehicle on, with foot on brake put vehicle in NEUTRAL. Still holding brakes move 4x4 switch to 4 wheel drive, it should engage. The ECT snow is just s feather that make the transmission take off in 2nd gear so its not a fast take off and you wouldn't skid. Good Luck

SOURCE: Upgrade toyota navigation DVD.

Hi,
DVD unit is under the passenger seat. Just buy the new maps DVD from the dealer, eject the old disk (button on the left, covered with slider) and put the new disk in. It takes 10 minutes.

2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. How did you check the approved from the working on a 2006 hybrid Highlander

Question edited for clarity add maker.
Question moved to model category.

Your question as written makes no sense. You made an earlier post 10 minutes before asking "How do check fuel pump is working".

Although badly written, (How do you check that the fuel pump is working?), I can answer that.

In the engine bay on the fuel rail there is a port that looks like a tyre stem called a Schrader Valve. You connect a fuel pressure gauge to it and test the fuel pressure when turning the engine over to start it. The pressure should be 44-50 PSI.

How do I fix my 2008 Toyota Highlander? It doesn't start and gives me the Check VSC System and Check Hybrid System warnings.

There are a few possible reasons why your 2008 Toyota Highlander won't start and has the "Check VSC System" and "Check Hybrid System" warnings:
Battery problem: The battery may not have enough strength or power to start the car. A qualified technician should test the battery to ensure it supplies the correct voltage and amperage.
Problem with the hybrid system: The hybrid system could be experiencing issues, such as a broken inverter or a weak battery.
Vehicle stability control (VSC) system issue: The VSC system could be experiencing problems, such as faulty sensors or brake system issues.
Fuel system issue: A vacuum could be created by the gas cap's improper seal.

Other issues: The vehicle may have issues such as a problem with the starter, the alternator, or the ignition switch.

It's best to have a professional technician diagnose the issue, and they will be able to identify the specific cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs.
If the vehicle has been sitting for several months, there might be other issues that could have arisen due to the lack of use. It's best to have a complete checkup and service before driving the vehicle again.
