To change the battery of a Toyota Highlander, start by switching off the vehicle and ensuring that all electronic devices are turned off. The battery is located in the engine bay, usually at the front left, near the radiator grille. Once located, loosen and remove the clamps connecting the cables to the battery.

It is advisable to start with the negative terminal to avoid short circuits or shocks. After disconnecting both cables, proceed to remove the bracket or strap that holds the battery in place.

At this point, you can lift the battery out of its housing. Be careful, as it may be quite heavy.

When positioning the new battery, ensure that the terminals are oriented correctly. Reposition the bracket to secure the battery firmly, then reconnect the clamps, starting with the positive terminal.

Tighten the clamps well to ensure good electrical contact, and finally, start the vehicle to check that everything is functioning correctly.
