It's just power, so it ought to work. Those ports can supply up to 3 amps, so it shouldn't even be a capacity problem.

You'll have to figure out if it's the port, the cable, or the phone. I'd try another USB-C cable, and I'd also try another phone and see if it will get power. It's possible the fuse is blown, making the port inactive.

 

Try a different charging cable.

 

There are two fuses for the USB ports, both 7.5 Amps.
They are both located in the "Engine Room Relay Block No. 1" fuse panel but are not adjacent to one another.
They are labeled "7.5A USB NO.1" and "7.5A USB NO.2"

 

I tried 4 different cables and 3 phones, It will charge my old LG G7 ThinQ phone (which has issues) but not my Samsung A53 phones. I use my LG phone as an MP3 player in the car. It will work on the wireless charger in the car but the A53's are not wireless chargeable.

 

I have a 2018 Camry with a Pioneer radio. My USB port quit working. My USB port gets its power from the radio, no fuse for the USB port. I had the USB port replaced and did not help, they had to replace the radio and the problem was solved.

 

A quick Google search revealed that the A53 requires 5 amps at 5 volts for Fast Charging, so it could be a power output issue. The Highlander goes up to 3 amps as mentioned earlier.

To test that theory, you can go to Settings > Battery and Device Care > Battery > More Battery Settings and turn off Fast Charging. Then see if it will charge with the Highlander.

 

Thanks, I switched off fast charging and will see if it will charge next time I drive.

 

Nope, didn't work.

The 12V charging adapter I have has 2 USB-A ports rated 2.4 & 2.1 amps and charges my Samsung A53 phone fine in the 12V adapter (cigarette plug) whether set to "Fast Charging" or not. The 3.0 amp output on the Toyota USB-C port should charge it. The Toyota tech did check the output of the USB-C ports and it was 5V but only microamps of current to the Samsung A53 phone but does charge my old LG G7 ThinQ phone with no problems. Also, the the USB-A audio port, that Toyota states in the owners manual is not designed to charge phones, does charge my Samsung A53 phone. However if I use it, I can not play music from my MP3 player.

 

get an iphone !
Samsung includes some funky PPS profiles in its own chargers even it is PD compatible. it's not Toyota's fault.

 

I’m finding this to be a common problem with the 2022 models and it’s extremely expensive to fix!! Toyota switched to a USB data port.

 

Interesting...I came from OnePlus to Galaxy S23 Ultra recently but have always charged it in the car using the 50W socket charger for my OnePlus so I'll have to test this out.
