Hi Nicol, I had exactly the same problem with my freshly imported hybrid alphard. A yellow exclamation mark in a circle warning light appeared on the dashboard so I took it to a local garage and they were absolutely sure it's the worn break pads that need replacing. After they replaced them for £250 the warning was still there. So I plugged the car into a diagnostic app trhough the OBD2 port (I don't remember the exact error message) and did some googling and everything suggested that the problem is most likely the break capacitorm, which is exactly in the place behind the little grill which @smurf posted. I found a used one on Ebay for about £20 so it was not much of a risk if it wasn't it. And it did the trick! After replacing it, the warning light disappeared and it never came up again. The only problem was that the place where it is mounted is a bit awkward to access. Good luck with it!

No, none of that.

Hi, replaced the head unit on my 2003 hybrid alphard (the previous generation ATH-10) and I can confirm that it has not affected the hybrid function (at least I haven't noticed anything).

I know similar questions were asked before, but with no satisfying answer. I have a 2003 hybrid Alphard with adaptive cruise control and everything works fine except that the theres's a ~70mph limit apparently because of some legislation in Japan from that period. The question is whether there is a way to get rid of or increase the limit? I have seen suggestions about how to remove the limit on Toyota Supra by using jumpers on the Computer Assy Cruise Controll, so I dismantled the dashboard and got access to the cruise control unit with the hope it will be the same PCB, but unfortunately it looks very different (the part number is 88240-58031) and it doesn't seem to have such a jumper terminal. Some folks suggested to replace the cruise control unit with a compatible one but for a non-JDM car. So I have these two questions: Can the PCB of the 88240-58031 be tweaked somehow to remove/increase the limit? Is there a compatible replacement for 88240-58031 from Toyota/Lexus cars for non-JDM market with adaptive cruise control? Here are the pictures of the 88240-58031 I took out from the dashboard guts:
