How to Replace the Air Filter on the Toyota Highlander

Model: Toyota Highlander Xu40 - Years 2008-2013
Part: Air filter

To replace the air filter on your vehicle, follow these steps: open the bonnet, locate the box containing the filter at the top, and first disconnect the power connector of the air pressure sensor found at the end of the air intake hose. Identify the securing screws of the cover of the box containing the filter and undo them with a ratchet spanner. At this point, lift the cover of the box and remove the filter. Take the new filter and place it in the housing (always check that the filter specifications are suitable for your vehicle), then reposition the cover of the filter box and tighten the screws again. Finally, reconnect the power connector of the air pressure sensor.
