On the 2023-2025 Toyota Sequoia i-FORCE MAX, the 2023+ Sequoia with the i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain has experienced cooling system issues related to the added complexity of cooling both the twin-turbo engine and hybrid battery system. Owners report coolant loss with no visible external leak (internal leak at turbo coolant lines), electric cooling fan running continuously at high speed even in mild weather, and occasional overheating warnings during towing. The hybrid battery cooling circuit is separate from the engine cooling circuit and has its own failure modes.

Common Symptoms

  • Coolant level dropping with no visible leak
  • Cooling fans running at high speed constantly
  • Overheating warning while towing
  • Sweet coolant smell from engine bay
  • Hybrid system reduced power warning
  • Engine temperature gauge reading higher than normal

How to Fix

For coolant loss: have the dealer pressure test both the engine and turbo cooling circuits. Common leak points are the turbo coolant feed/return lines and the intercooler. For continuous fan operation: the hybrid battery cooling fans have an independent control module — check for DTCs related to battery temperature management. For towing overheating: ensure the transmission cooler and auxiliary cooler (if equipped with tow package) are functioning. Toyota has issued TSBs addressing cooling system software calibration. Verify all cooling system software is at the latest version.

Owner tips & cautions

  • WarningCheck coolant level weekly during the first year of ownership. The twin-turbo system has many more coolant connections than a naturally aspirated engine. Catching a small leak early prevents overheating damage.
Typical repair cost:$100 - $2,000

On the 2023-2025 Toyota Sequoia, on third-gen Sequoia models with the 14-inch multimedia display, unexpected signal noise can desynchronize the four serial data lanes carrying the rearview-camera image, making the backup-camera display show half-green, full-green, or full black, or freeze briefly when reverse is selected. This can prevent the rear view required by FMVSS 111. Toyota recalled about 394,000 Tundra and Sequoia vehicles.

Common Symptoms

  • Backup camera shows a green or black screen
  • Camera image frozen briefly when shifting to reverse
  • No rearview image when reversing, especially after a camera-view change

How to Fix

Covered by a Toyota noncompliance safety recall announced October 2025. Dealers update the multimedia display software free of charge to correct the camera data-sync timing. Customer notification began late November 2025.
