Why Timing Service Matters

  • Prevents costly internal engine damage on interference designs.
  • Restores precise cam/crank sync for smooth idle, power, and MPG.
  • Eliminates start-up rattle, chain slap, or belt slip that triggers MIL/VVT codes.
  • Extends engine life with OEM parts, correct sealants, and fluids.

Highlander Engines We Service

  • 2.4L Turbo I-4 (T24A-FTS, 2023+): timing chain, guides/tensioners, VVT-i phasers, front cover reseal.
  • 2.5L I-4 (A25A-FKS) & Hybrid (A25A-FXS, 2020+): chain set, oil control valves, VVT-iE inspection, seals.
  • 3.5L V6 (2GR-FE / 2GR-FKS): primary/secondary chains, guides, tensioners, Dual VVT-i actuators, cover reseal.
  • 2.7L I-4 (1AR-FE): timing chain service, phasers, OCVs, front main & cam seals.
  • Legacy 3.3L V6 (3MZ-FE – incl. early Hybrid): timing belt, idlers, hydraulic/mech tensioner, cam/crank seals, water pump.

Note: Most late-model Highlanders use timing chains. Early V6 and some early Hybrid models used belts. We verify by VIN for exact parts and labor.

Signs Your Highlander Needs Timing Service

  • Rattle/tick at cold start, chain slap, or VVT actuator knock.
  • Cam/crank correlation or VVT performance codes (P0011/P0012, P0016–P0019).
  • Rough idle, hesitation, misfires, or reduced power—especially under load.
  • Oil seep at timing cover, front crank, or cam seals; coolant leak at pump (belt engines).
  • High mileage or unknown service history on a belt-driven 3.3L V6.

What’s Included in Our Timing Service

  • Primary components: belt/chain, guides/rails, tensioners, idlers, VVT actuators (as required).
  • Seals & reseal: front crank & cam seals; timing cover reseal with Toyota FIPG.
  • Water pump: replaced when timing-driven or if wear/leaks present (recommended on legacy belt V6).
  • Hardware & fluids: new one-time-use bolts; fresh coolant/oil with correct bleed procedure.
  • Validation: relearns/adaptives, idle trims, post-repair scan, and road-test verification.

Our Highlander Timing Service Process

  • 1) VIN verification: confirm belt vs chain, kit contents, and special tools.
  • 2) Baseline diagnostics: live-data correlation, oil pressure, and noise evaluation.
  • 3) Precision disassembly: inspect guides, phasers, pump, seals, and cover surfaces.
  • 4) Installation: align timing per Toyota SI using locking fixtures and torque/angle specs.
  • 5) Fluids & relearns: refill/bleed, clear codes, perform relearns and road test.
  • 6) Delivery: digital photo report plus next-interval recommendations.

FAQs

Do you use OEM parts?

Yes—Toyota Genuine or premium OE-equivalent kits (Aisin/INA/Denso) with factory procedures and torque specs.

Should I replace the water pump?

If the pump is timing-driven or shows wear/leaks, replacing it during timing service prevents duplicate labor later.

Brief start-up rattle—chain or VVT?

We confirm with oil pressure checks, correlation data, and mechanical inspection to pinpoint chain, tensioner, or actuator causes.
