Autostart is a very useful option for a car that operates in the region with extremely low winter temperatures. The installation of autostart on the Toyota Highlander II Hybrid is possible, but it should be trusted only by people who are familiar with the launch of hybrid drives. The point is that the alarm, part of which is autostart, "sees" that the engine has started, two main ways: to increase the voltage in the onboard network and signal from the engine speed sensor. Vehicles with a Toyota hybrid drive are capable of low speed (for example, by courtyard) even if the gasoline engine is not running. The main criterion is the charge level of the high voltage battery. Therefore, the monitoring of the increase in voltage in this case is unacceptable-it will be increased if the car is ready for electric power drive. The second method can only be used if there is a way to read the signal transducer signal. Thus, only a specialist who understands how to get a signal about the launch of the DMF can install the autostart on the Toyota Highlander II Hybrid. If this condition is not met, the autostart will be carried out by drainting the energy from the high voltage battery, which may lead to spoilage.
