Hello, We have a 2006 Sienna. When the ignition key is turned off, within a few seconds, the cooling fan under the hood comes on full blast. This caused the battery to drain to the point of having to jump start the vehicle. I also noticed that the red light with a key was flashing, this is the lock out indicator I believe. When I shut the vehicle off while the car was in reverse, the fan did not go on, but the red light with key still flashes. However, in P, D, N the fan went on moments after I shut it off. Any ideas?
