villagetoyotaparts.com says they're the same part. You can bring up a diagram on both cars and the part #'s are the same.

Are you sure it's not just stuck? I had to work some wd40 into my 'hood hinge spring' area when it wouldn't open one time. If the cable isn't visibly cut, try pulling on the handle while someone else tries to open the hood.
