Introduction
Some 2008 - 2012 model year Highlander and Highlander HV vehicles may exhibit a condition
where the Power Back Door does not close properly. The Back Door may get to the fully closed
position and then reverse to the open position. In cases where the Power Back Door does close,
a pop or clunk noise may also be heard when the back door latch reaches the striker during the
power close function. In some cases, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) B2222 and/or U0230 may
be present. Use the following information to inspect the Power Back Door and address this condition .
NOTICE
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to provide repair instructions for the Power Back Door. It
enhances the durability of the Power Back Door when operating using the Power Close function.
When the Power Close function is used, if objects or cargo are continually interfering with the
closure of the back door, damage to the back door and/or back door hinges may occur.
To minimize the possibility of damage occurring, before closing the Power Back Door, customers
should always confirm that objects in the cargo area will not impede or interfere with the closing
operation of the back door. Additionally, customers should not use any part of their body to
intentionally activate the Jam Protection function of the Power Back Door. Please see the Owner's
Manual for additional information on the Power Back Door Jam Protection function.
